Chorus 1

You couldn't take her as your wife
But wouldn't let harm come to her

And stood between her and an angry world

And you made no accusation
So no one could raise a stone

Did you feel so hurt, confused, and all alone

Joseph
Chorus 2

But you denied yourself for others
Obeyed when nothing made much sense

You were her strength and shelter on that road to Bethlehem

And kneeling by the manger, bathed in soft starlight
G D/F# G G2
Did you know whose face you touched that holy night

Joseph, I hope to sit with you one day
Hear you tell me all about the choices you were called to make

God trusted to take care of Mary and Himself
