You're a man far better than me
But a man still just like me
So I come to you
That's what Pharaoh said to do
Pillar of families
Give me faith to still believe
I can run to you
That's what Mary chose to do
I've had dreams too
But nothing like being the ruler of nations
All my dreams flew
But yours made you father of the Son of God
Ite, ite ad Ioseph
Ite, ite ad Ioseph
I run to you
Oh, I run to you
With your hands you carried the child
From Bethlehem's walls down to the Nile
And He clung to you
You were chosen by Him too
Protector of purity
Beauty draws you as it draws me
Make my heart beat
Like your's still surely beats
I have hope too
Of one day being a father and shelter
To have a heart true
Mirror of Patience
Give me strength to be like you
Ite, ite ad Ioseph
Ite, ite ad Ioseph
Ite, ite ad Ioseph
Ite, ite ad Ioseph
Oh you are the most just
You are the most chaste
Most prudent
Sancte Ioseph
Courage and strength
Obedience in faith
And patience
Teach to me Joseph
Oh I run to, run to you
Oh I come to, come to you
Oh I run to, run to you
Oh I come to, come to you
