River of Jordan - The Purple Hulls

Jesus was a carpenter A carpenter by trade Apprentice of an artisan A craftsman he was made Did people come from miles around From far and distant lands To be the first To see the work Built by the master's hands Were his frames square and level His measurements true Did he fix what was broken Make it better than brand new I'd travel back two thousand years To his time if I could I'd love to see some of the things That Jesus made from wood It makes perfect sense That when God sent A savior he would be A carpenter cause he knew all The workin on we'd need Of all his creations His greatest miracle He took two pieces of wood and saved my soul I was worn and splintered I was weathered by the rain I was bound for the fire Rotten to the grain Then he picked me up and saved me Like only Jesus could And now he's molding me and shaping me The way he worked with wood It makes perfect sense That when God sent A savior he would be A carpenter cause he knew all The workin on we'd need Of all his creations His greatest miracle He took two pieces of wood and saved my soul He took two pieces of wood and saved my soul

I'm pressing on the upward way, New heights I'm gaining every day; Still praying as I'm onward bound, "Lord, plant my feet on higher ground." Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on Heaven's tableland, A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. My heart has no desire to stay Where doubts arise and fears dismay; Though some may dwell where those abound, My prayer, my aim, is higher ground. Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on Heaven's tableland, A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. Lord, lift me up and let me stand, By faith, on Heaven's tableland, A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground. A higher plane than I have found; Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
