about

A song for Joseph, thinking about being father to the son of God, thinking about the road ahead.

lyrics

My son, but not my son,
This little life begun
Oh child within my arms,
You've made the darkness shine

I find I can't explain
How love feels so like pain
And bonds more strong than blood
Have tied your life to mine

And I will raise you as my own,
Though I belong to you,
The maker in the hands of the made
And I will teach you all I know
Though I should learn from you
The potter in the hands of the clay

I find it hard to see
Why choose a man like me?
I'm rough and not a saint
How can you be my son?

But I will do my best
For I am truly blessed
And I will play my part
and do what must be done

And I will raise you as my own,
Though I belong to you,
The maker in the hands of the made
And I will teach you all I know
Though I should learn from you
The potter in the hands of the clay

And though I fear for you
You'll do what you must do,
You'll tread a lonely path
You'll be the Father's son.
