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 your 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 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 your 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 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
Then 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 sad
Call me dad

Call me dad
