Verse 1

D

Joseph, did you want to pack your tools

Head to someplace where nobody whispered there goes Mary's fool

Bm

Joseph, did you look up and raise your hands

Crying, God, You know I've always tried to be a righteous man

  G   A G G

Joseph



Verse 2

D

Joseph, did you lie awake confused

Thinkin' 'bout that small town scandal

                              D/F# D A

And what love's supposed to do

Bm

Joseph, if you felt you'd been betrayed

                                                             A

Still you didn't walk by feelings, you chose to walk by faith

  G   A G G G2

Joseph



Chorus 1

            A

You couldn't take her as your wife

But wouldn't let harm come to her

                 G

You looked beyond the shame

And stood between her and an angry world

            A

And you made no accusation

So no one could raise a stone

            G                 D/F#       G     G2

Did you feel so hurt, confused,   and all alone



Verse 3

D

Joseph, did you wake up and wanna scream

God, are You really speaking through some angel in a dream

Bm

Joseph, did it all just seem absurd

                                                              A

That your wife might be the one to fulfill the prophet's words

  G   A G G

Joseph



Chorus 2

              A

But you denied yourself for others

Obeyed when nothing made much sense

        G

You were her strength and shelter on that road to Bethlehem

        A

And kneeling by the manger, bathed in soft starlight

            G                      D/F#      G        G2

Did you know whose face you touched    that holy night



Verse 4

D

Joseph, I hope to sit with you one day

Hear you tell me all about the choices you were called to make

          Bm

'Cause, Joseph, it was you and no one else

God trusted to take care of Mary and Himself

G     A G G A G     G   A G G A

Joseph,        oh Joseph

  D   Dsus D G D G A G G A G D

Joseph
