CARPENTER GONE BAD?
Bob Bennett
(C) 1979 Maranatha! Music (ASCAP)
There's a man down in the street
Says he's the Messiah
Telling people he is the Chosen One
Says that He is in the Father
And the Father's in the Son
Empty nets made full of fish
And blind eyes that see
Didn't he used to work with wood in Galilee?
Now he's in the synagogue
Telling people they are wrong
To live as whitewashed tombs
Full of dead men's bones
Some say he is the Son of God
Others laugh and call him mad
Well do you think he's who they say he is
Or just a carpenter gone bad?
People talking about him wherever I go
They say he teaches with authority
Is there something I don't know?
The say it is his fervent prayer
That we stay in the Father's care
And believe that he is the Word made man
Some say he is the Son of God
Others laugh and call him mad
Well do you think he's who he says he is
Or just a carpenter gone bad?
