Is This Not The Carpenter?
by Sandi Patty, Susan Ashton

Album: Duets 2

The One who made the world made this world His home
This child that grew to man came unto His own
But His own received Him not
Even looked into His eyes, yet never recognized Him, saying
"Is this not the Carpenter - is this not the Son of Mary?"

"Is this not the Carpenter - is this not the Son of Mary?"
Saying "This is but the Carpenter - it's only Jesus, Son of Mary."
It's a sadness without measure
They had been with Him forever
And still not realized He was the very Son of God, saying
"Is this not the Carpenter - is this not the Son of Mary?"

He took upon Himself the appearance of a man
Made Himself a servant so all could come to Him
Laid His life down for His friends
But the truth was still denied them
For still they crucified Him, saying
"Is this not the Carpenter - is this not the Son of Mary?"

"Is this not the Carpenter - is this not the Sond of Mary?"
Saying "This is but the Carpenter - it's only Jesus, Son of Mary."
It's a sadness without measure
They could watch Him die but never
Come to realize He was the very Son of God, saying
"Is this not the Carpenter - is this not the Son of Mary?"

To touch His garment is to understand
To see His cross and comprehend, saying

Yes, this is the Carpenter - yes, this is the Son of Mary!
It's the plain and simple Carpenter - the Son of heaven,
Son of Mary
It's a joy without measure
We will reign with Him forever
We have come to recognize Him as the very Son of God
Say it! Yes, this is the Carpenter - yes, this is the Son of heaven!

Glory to the Carpenter - Praises to the Son of heaven!

Is this not the Carpenter?
Yes, this is the Carpenter
Glory to the Carpenter - Praises to the Son
