Jesus Was a Carpenter (Part 1) Songtext
von Johnny Cash
Jesus Was a Carpenter (Part 1) Songtext
Would He stand today upon the sands of California
And walk the sweating blacktop of New York and Mississippi?
Would He be a guest on Sunday, a vagrant on a Monday?
With the doors locked tight against His kind you know
Oh, come again now Jesus be a carpenter among us
There are chapels in our discontent, cathedrals to our sorrows
And we live in golden mansions with the sand for our foundations
And the raging water′s rising and the thunder's all around us
And the troubles all around us
Won′t You come and build a house on rock again
And walk the sweating blacktop of New York and Mississippi?
Would He be a guest on Sunday, a vagrant on a Monday?
With the doors locked tight against His kind you know
Oh, come again now Jesus be a carpenter among us
There are chapels in our discontent, cathedrals to our sorrows
And we live in golden mansions with the sand for our foundations
And the raging water′s rising and the thunder's all around us
And the troubles all around us
Won′t You come and build a house on rock again
