He was working late [D] one evening, _ _ _ _ [A] _ with the wood that he knew [D] so well. _ _
_ [E] _ _ When she thought she [A] recognized him, _ _ _ _ [D] _
[E] though at first she couldn't tell. _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [A] _
As she humbly begged [D] his pardon, _ _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ a strange sadness [D] swelled inside.
[A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ When she asked, _ aren't you [A] the father _ of _ [D] _
[E] the man they [A] _ crucify?
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [F#m] Then the carpenter [Bm] repeated _ _ what _ _ he'd said so many [A] _
_ times.
_ _ [F#m] _ He said that I was not his [Bm] father, _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ he was [A] _ mine.
_ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ Then he humbly went on working, _ _ _ _ _ _ with his warm and calloused hand.
[D] _
_ _ [E] _ _ Though she did not ask more questions, [A] _ _ _ _ [A] _
[E] he knew she didn't understand. _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ So he asked if she [A] would help him, _ _ _ _ he saw her answer in a [D]
glance.
_ _ _ _ [E] And she did the chores he asked her, _ _
_ [D] and she was [E] grateful for the chance.
_ [E] _ _ [F#m] _ Then they talked for hours [Bm] of Jesus, _ _
_ [E] _ and how he knew he was [A]
divine.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] He said I was [Bm] not his father, _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ he _ was _ [A] mine.
_ _ _ [Bm]
How could one so foolish and so [A]
flawed, _ _ _ _ [D] ever hope to [Am] _ raise the son of [E] God?
_ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Then he spoke of [D] the misgiving _ [A] he _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ had had [D] a thousand times.
_ _ _ [A] _
_ [E] _ Now Jesus found the tender moments, [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _
to [E] let him know he'd done just [A] fine.
[F#] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
Then the carpenter _ [D] recited _ _ _ [E] the greatest truths [A] he'd ever learned.
[E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] And testified they [Bm] came from Jesus, _ _
_ [E] _ and then her heart within [A] her _ _ _ [G#m] burned.
[F#m] _ Then they embraced as she [Bm] departed, _ _ _
_ [E] _ Joseph told her one [A] more _ [E] time.
_ _ _ [F#m] Tell them I was [Bm] not his father, _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ tell them he was [F#m] _ _ _ [E] mine.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ No I was not [A] his father, _ _ [E] _ _ _ he _ [A] was _ _ mine. _
