متن موزیک

I was talking to doctor Billy Graham recently who...

I was very honored to have him visitin' in my home

And he said that the reason he wanted to come visit was talk about songs

And that the country needed some songs

Some religious songs that said something for the people of today

Specially for the younger people

And it was shortly after that that I recorded this song

And another one that I'd like to do a bit later for you

It was a great inspiration for me, talking to this great man and...

We owe to a lot of people since that time about some other things that we need

That we as individuals need to do

And I didn't realize that we're obligated to do it

Until I found myself on network television and red a lot of the letters that come in

There was a fellow down in Florida, wrote me a letter that said

"Your television show was about one of a few things that we've got left in our life

In our later years, retirement down here, look forward to that every week"

Letters like that make you understand how important

Someone or something might be that you could possibly do

I told that fellow in a letter that we were thinking of him too

And I said, "Mister, if you were a baker

And if the bread you made kept someone from being hungry

Than your life has been important

If you were a weaver and cloth you made kept someone warm

Then your life has been meaningful"

The smallest can be the biggest things

Jesus was a carpenter and he worked with a sow and a hammer

And his hands could form a table true enough to stand forever

And he might have spun his life out in the coolness of the mornings

But he put aside his tools and he walked the burning highways

And he build his house from people just like these

And he found them as they wandered through the wild Judean mountains

And he found them as they pulled their nets upon the sea of Galilee

And for a 1000 evenings while the day behind him emptied

He walked among the poor and he stopped to touch the dying

And he built his house from people just like these

It was on a storming Friday when he rode to old Jerusalem

And the palms they cast before him were the crimes they laid against him

It was on a storming Sunday when he climbed the steps to Calvary

And where he died, today why they're sellin' beads and postcards?

And they tell us too that that was long ago

But would he stand today upon the sands of California

Or walk the sweating blacktop in New York and Mississippi?

Where the mighty churches rise high above the screaming cities

Would he be a guest on Monday, a vagrant on a Tuesday

With the doors locked tight against his kind, you know

Come again now Jesus, be a carpenter among us

There are chapels in our discontent, cathedrals to our sorrows

And we dwell in golden mansions with the sand for our foundations

And the raging water's rising and the thunder's all around us

Won't you come and build a house on rock again?

Jesus was a carpenter and he worked with a sow and a hammer, mmm

Thank you very much
