C G
I'm a simple man, with dust on these cracked and calloused hands

Paved the road to hell with stones I laid myself
Am
And I built it all too well

F F
Well I know what I've done, and if judgment should come
C G F
I couldn't face it, on my own, but the Savior stepped in

Saw the worst of my sin and just erased it

Guess you could say I've got a friend in high places
Verse 2:
C G
Yeah I'm livin proof, what a carpenter from Nazareth can do
F C
How a hammer and a nail can make things new, and I don't know why He cared

Enough to turn His head and hear my prayer
F
Leave Heaven when He could have just stayed there
Am G
It really don't seem fair, no it don't seem fair
