I Am Joseph (God Is With Us)
[Verse 1]
I am Joseph, I am Mary
I'm traveling on a journey
And I'm carrying a promise I can't see
I am scared and I'm excited
I don't really know what lies ahead of me

[Verse 2]
And I'm a shepherd on the hillside
As common as the clothes I wear
That smell like I've been sleeping in a barn
The last people in this world to ever bow before a king
But here we are

[Chorus]
And God is with us
God is for us
This is my story and this is my song

[Verse 3]
And I am Herod in the palace
That my pride can build around me
I start thinking I'm the one and only king
Trying desperately to stay upon a throne
That never did belong to me
[Verse 4]
And I am riding with the wise men
Over hills and through the darkest valleys
Fixed on the star that lights our way
Bringing all the gifts I have to give in worship
When I finally see my Savior's face

[Chorus]
And God is with us
And God is for us
This is my story, this is my song
And God is with us
And God is for us all

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 5]
So let's all gather at the manger
And bring all our hopes and hurts and fears
All our unworthiness and shame
Knowing every one of us
Is the reason that He came

[Chorus]
And God is with us
And God is for us
This is our story, and this is our song
And God is with us
And God is for us all (Our God is with us)
God is for us all (Our God is with us)
He's for us all
Our God is for us all
He's for us all (He's for us all)
Our God is with us
And He is for us all (for us all)
This is my story, this is my song (this is my song)
