Verse 
D           D7               G                        A7 
Jesus was a carpenter and he worked with a saw and a hammer 
        D                  D7         G                A7 
And his hands could form a table true enough to stand forever 
       D                    G               D               A7 
And he might have spun his life out in the coolness of the mornings 
       D              G            D                  G 
But he put aside his tools and he walked the burning highways 
    D                                    A7 
To build a house from folks like you and me 

Verse 
       D                   D7                   G              A7 
And he found them as they wandered through the wild Judean mountains 
       D                   D7                G               A7 
And he found them as they pulled their nets upon the Sea of Galilee 
     D             G                  D               A7 
And for a thousand evenings while the day behind him emptied 
    D               G             D                   G 
He walked among the poor and he stopped to touch the dying 
        D                                      A7 
And he built his house from people just like these 

Verse 
       D            D7              G              A7 
It was on a shining Sunday when he rode to old Jerusalem 
        D                 D7                  G                  A7 
And the palms they cast before him were the crimes they laid against him 
       D              G              D                      A7 
It was on a stormin’ Friday when he climbed the streets of Calvary 
     D               G                D                  G 
And where he died today why they're sellin' beads and postcards 
     D                                   A7 
And they tell us too that that was long ago 

Verse 
    D               D7             G            A7 
But would he stand today upon the sands of California 
   D                   D7             G            A7 
Or walk the sweating blacktop in New York and Mississippi 
           D               G       D                 A7 
Where the mighty churches rise above the screaming cities 
         D              G        D            G 
Would he be a guest on Sunday a vagrant on a Monday 
          D                                       A7 
With the doors locked tight against his kind you know 

Verse 
     D          D7          G          A7 
Come again now Jesus be a carpenter among us 
           D                 D7        G                A7 
There are chapels in our discontent cathedrals in our sorrows 
        D                 G               D                 A7 
And we dwell in golden mansions with the sand for our foundations 
         D              G               D               G 
And the raging water's rising and the thunder's all around us 
           D                               A7 
Won't you come and build a house on rock again 

Verse 
D           D7               G                        A7 
Jesus was a carpenter and he worked with a saw and a hammer 
        D                  D7         G                A7 
And his hands could form a table true enough to stand forever 
       D                    G               D               A7 
And he might have spun his life out in the coolness of the mornings 
       D              G            D                  G 
But he put aside his tools and he walked the burning highways 
    D                                    A7 
To build a house from folks like you and me
