Michael McLean - Joseph (I Was Not His Father, He Was Mine) lyrics
He was working late one evening With the wood he knew so well When she thought she recognized him Though at first, She really couldn't tell As she humbly begged his pardon A strange sadness swelled inside When she asked, "aren't you the father Of that man they crucified?" Then the carpenter repeated What he's said so many times He said, "I as not His father, He was mine." Then he humbly went on working With those worn and caloused hands Though she did not ask more questions He knew she didn't understand. So he asked if she would help him And he saw her answer in a glance She did all the chores he asked her She was so grateful for the chance Then they talked for hours of Jesus And how he knew He was divine He said "I was not His father, He was mine. For how could one So foolish and so flawed Ever hope to raise the Son of God?" Then he spoke of the misgivings That he had had a thousand times And how Jesus found the tender moments To let him know He had done just fine And then the carpenter recited The greatest truths he'd ever learned And testified they all came form Jesus And then her heart within her burned They embraced as she departed, And Joseph told her one more time, "Tell them I was not His father Tell them He was mine No, I was not His father, He is mine." |
