Ite Ad Ioseph

You're a man far better than me But a man still just like me So I come to you That's what Pharaoh said to do Pillar of families Give me faith to still believe I can run to you That's what Mary chose to do I've had dreams too But nothing like being the ruler of nations All my dreams flew But yours made you father of the Son of God Ite, ite ad Ioseph Ite, ite ad Ioseph I run to you Oh, I run to you With your hands you carried the child From Bethlehem's walls down to the Nile And He clung to you You were chosen by Him too Protector of purity Beauty draws you as it draws me Make my heart beat Like your's still surely beats I have hope too Of one day being a father and shelter To have a heart true Mirror of Patience Give me strength to be like you Ite, ite ad Ioseph Ite, ite ad Ioseph Ite, ite ad Ioseph Ite, ite ad Ioseph Oh you are the most just You are the most chaste Most prudent Sancte Ioseph Courage and strength Obedience in faith And patience Teach to me Joseph Oh I run to, run to you Oh I come to, come to you Oh I run to, run to you Oh I come to, come to you
