(Verse 1)
Jesus was, a carpenter a long time ago,
Joseph taught Him all the things, He needed to know.
He grew up straight and strong, working, on the shores of Galiliaee.
He learned to use a hammer, and He learned to drive a nail,
And when He started building, it served Him mighty well,
'Cause He started on a building, that stretched from sky to sky, and sea to sea.

(Chorus).....
Jesus is the Masterbuilder, He built His church upon a rock,
He built it on a firm foundation, and the work will never stop.
Jesus is the Masterbuilder, He takes the old and makes it new;
He can take a life of sin, make it clean and pure again, and He can make a way for you.

(Verse 2)......up a key....
Now, He's back in heaven, and He's buildin' once again,
He's workin' on a city called the New Jersalem,
It sits on a firm foundation, according to, the Masterbuilder's plan;
The streets are lined with mansions, for the saints to move right in,
And when He's finished building, He's come right back again,
To take us to that city fashioned by the Masterbuilder's hand,

(Chorus).......
