Love (Joseph)
In the middle of the night.
That's always been when you set me right.
Sometimes I'm weary to close my eyes,
I tremble at the thought of all that You could want this time.
So come on Spirit, would you get right to it?
Oh, I think I've dreamed of this before.
Seen glimpses in the mist.
Oh son of David, do not be afraid.
Let this love befriend you, like a desert to the rain.
For the girl before you is one I've made.
The simple beauty that you've seen is still the one you'll take.
It's not at all what your diffidence is telling you to think.
Oh, I think you've dreamed of this
before, you just didn't have the score.
To the symphony of love
that God's been drawing up and from
His overflowing heart of peace,
that never ends, yet ends in eternity.
And He's folding you into a fatherhood like no one could.
To take a son that isn't yours.
Adopt the one who will adopt the world.
There will be no glory for you.
All the glory will be given to the son you'll raise up
but I hate to say you'll never see it.
His love. His love. His love. His love.
I know I've heard this, too many times to tell.
Isaiah said, "Call Him Emmanuel."
He'll be with everyone.
But I'll have Him somehow more.
My hand shall feed His mouth as I partner with Your favour.
Be a father to the one who's Father is You.
Who knew I'd get to watch perfection grow up.
I've built things all my life but never built love.
I'll do everything you command and I thank You.
God I thank You.
That's always been when you set me right.
Sometimes I'm weary to close my eyes,
I tremble at the thought of all that You could want this time.
So come on Spirit, would you get right to it?
Oh, I think I've dreamed of this before.
Seen glimpses in the mist.
Oh son of David, do not be afraid.
Let this love befriend you, like a desert to the rain.
For the girl before you is one I've made.
The simple beauty that you've seen is still the one you'll take.
It's not at all what your diffidence is telling you to think.
Oh, I think you've dreamed of this
before, you just didn't have the score.
To the symphony of love
that God's been drawing up and from
His overflowing heart of peace,
that never ends, yet ends in eternity.
And He's folding you into a fatherhood like no one could.
To take a son that isn't yours.
Adopt the one who will adopt the world.
There will be no glory for you.
All the glory will be given to the son you'll raise up
but I hate to say you'll never see it.
His love. His love. His love. His love.
I know I've heard this, too many times to tell.

But I'll have Him somehow more.
My hand shall feed His mouth as I partner with Your favour.
Be a father to the one who's Father is You.
Who knew I'd get to watch perfection grow up.
I've built things all my life but never built love.
I'll do everything you command and I thank You.
God I thank You.
