Jason Crabb - JOSEPH lyrics

Joseph, did you wanna pack your tools Head to someplace where nobody whispered, "There goes Mary's fool"? Joseph, did you look up and raise your hands Praying, "God, you know I've always tried to be a righteous man", Joseph Joseph, did you lie awake confused, Thinking 'bout the small town scandal and what loves supposed to do, Joseph If you felt you've been betrayed Still you didn't walk by feelings, but you chose to walked by faith, Joseph You couldn't take her as your wife Wouldn't let harm come to her You looked beyond the shame and stood between her and an angry world And you made no accusations So no one could raise a stone Did you feel so hurt, confused and all alone? Joseph, did you wake up and wanna scream "God, are you really speaking through some angel in a dream"? Joseph, did it all just seem absurd That your wife might be the one to fulfill the prophet's words, Joseph You denied yourself for others Obeyed when nothing much made sense You were a strength and shelter on the road to Bethlehem And kneeling by the manger Bathed in soft starlight Did you know who's face you touched that holy night? Joseph, I hope to sit with you one day And hear you tell me all about the choices you were called to make Joseph, it was you and no one else That God had trusted to take care of Mary and Himself Joseph, Joseph, it was you, Joseph It was you, Joseph God trusted
