Joseph's Promise--Lyrics
By Jim Downer
CHORUS 1 I will be his earthly father. I will teach him all I know. I will be his earthly father. I’ll protect him as he grows.
VERSE Why, oh God, have I been chosen To watch over heaven’s son? How can hands that saw and hammer Hold this child, holy one?
CHORUS 2 I will be his earthly father. I will shelter him from harm. I will be his earthly father. I will keep him safe and warm.
BRIDGE Is he king? Is he savior? Is he really the Divine? He’s a boy And I’ll love him, Raise him as a son of mine.
CHORUS 3 I will be his earthly father. All my doubts have been released. I am Jesus’ earthly father, Guardian of the prince of peace.
