Joseph

Joseph saw an angel

Who told him what would come

In wonder he was faithful

When Mary bore a son

He knew that he was different

The moment he arrived

And soon he would grow up to

Become his father's pride

So every day he told him

"I love you like my own

I may not be a father

But you'll always be my son"

Call me dad

Call me father

Call on me when there is anything you need

Let me be

The one you turn to

When you're joyful, if you're sad

Call me dad

He saw that God was with him

And watched him as he grew

Strong and wise in spirit

As he taught him all he knew

And every day he told him

"I love you like my own

I may not be a father

But you'll always be my son"

So call me dad

Call me father

Call on me when there is anything you need

Let me be

The one you turn to

When you're joyful, if you're sad

Call me dad

Jesus turned to Joseph and said, "Brother

You know I love you more than life

I'll lay my life down so you'll know our Father

And you will hear a voice from up on high"

Say call me dad

Call me father

Call on me when there is anything you need

Let me be

The one you turn to

When you're joyful, if you're sad

Call me dad

Mm-mm-mm

Call me dad
