[Intro]
D G9 D G9
[Verse 1]
D G
He was working late one evening
D G
With the wood he knew so well
A D
when she thought she recognized him
G A7 D
though at first she couldn't tell
D G
As she humbly begged his pardon
D G
A strange sadness swelled inside
A D
When she asked, "aren't you the father
G9 A9 D A/C#
Of the man they crucified?"
Bm Em7
Then the carpenter repeated
A7 D A/C#
what he's said so many times
Bm Em
He said, "I as not His father,
A7 D G/A A7
He was mine."
[Verse 2]
D G
Then he humbly went on working
D G
With those worn and caloused hands
A D
Though she did not ask more questions
G A7 D
he knew she didn't understand.
D G
So he asked if she would help him
D G
he saw her answer in a glance
A D
and she did the chores he asked her
G9 A9 D A/C#
and she was grateful for the chance
Bm Em7
Then they talked for hours of Jesus
A7 D A/C#
and how he knew He was divine.
Bm Em
He said "I was not His father,
A7 D G/A A7
He was mine.
[Chorus 1]
Em7 D/F#
"How could one so foolish and so flawed
G Asus A
ever hope to raise the Son of God?"
[Verse 3]
D2 G7
Then he spoke of the misgivings
D2 G
he had had a thousand times
A D
and how Jesus found the tender moments
G A A D A7
to let him know he'd done just fine
D Em7
Then the carpenter recited
A7 D
The greatest truths he'd ever learned
Bm Em7
and testified they came from Jesus
A7 D A/C#
and then her heart within her burned
Bm Em7
Then they embraced as she departed,
A7 A7/G D A/C#
Joseph told her one more time,
Bm Em7
"Tell them I was not His father
A7 Bm9
tell them He was mine.
G9 A7
No, I was not His father,
D
He was mine."
[Outro]
