Now if I had a hammer, I’d hammer all day long,
With strength and might for all that’s right
To build my spirit strong.
And if I had a chisel, I’d chisel grief away;
My hope and strength come from the Lord,
I’ll thank Him every day.
Oh lift your hammers, carpenters of God!
With strength and might for all that’s right
To build my spirit strong.
Now if I had a shovel, I’d shovel all day long,
With strength and might for all that’s right
To build my spirit strong.
And if I had a trowel, I’d scatter the stones of sin;
Old Satan cannot keep me down,
My faith comes from within.
Oh lift your hammers, carpenters of God!
With strength and might for all that’s right
To build my spirit strong.
Now if I had a level, I’d level temptation down;
The devil you see ain’t got hold me,
I bear God’s royal crown.
And if I had some mortar, I’d seal the devil away;
My hope and strength come from the Lord,
I’ll thank Him every day.
Oh lift your hammers, carpenters of God!
With strength and might for all that’s right
To build my spirit strong.
Oh lift your hammers, carpenters of God!
With strength and might for all that’s right
I’ll build my spirit strong.
