Father, we've something to tell you; a story of our time |
|
A tragic but inspiring tale of manhood in its prime |
|
You know you had a dozen sons, well, now that's not quite true |
|
But feel no sorrow, do not grieve, he would not want you to |
|
There's one more angel in Heaven |
|
There's one more star in the sky |
|
Joseph, we'll never forget you |
|
It's tough but we're gonna get by |
|
There's one less place at our table |
|
There's one more tear in my eye |
|
(Brothers) |
|
But Joseph, the things that you stood for |
|
(Reuben) |
|
Like truth and light never die |
|
When I think of his last great battle a lump comes to my throat |
|
It takes a man who knows no fear to wrestle with a goat |
|
His blood-stained coat is tribute to his final sacrifice |
|
His body may be past its peak, but his soul's in paradise |
|
(Jacob) |
|
There's one less place at our table |
|
There's one more tear in my eye |
|
(Brothers) |
|
But Joseph, the things that you stood for |
|
(Reuben) |
|
Like truth and light never die |
|
(Brothers) |
|
Carve his name with pride and courage |
|
(Napthali) |
|
Let no tear be shed |
|
(Brothers) |
|
If he had not laid down his life, we all would now be dead |
