Gathered 'round the table, breaking the bread
Holding onto every kind word you said
Through every changing season and holiday glow
I thank the Lord for a brother like Joe
You’ve always been the calm when the waters rise
With a gentle kind of wisdom in your eyes
ChorusYou are strong, you are caring, an open door
The kind of brother I could only pray for
With an understanding heart that always sees me through
I just want to say how much I love you
Yeah, I just want to say how much I love you
Verse 2I think of nights out camping underneath the pines
Watching the embers as they flicker and shine
Then Sunday mornings sharing the exact same pew
Singing out the praises right next to you
Side by side in the quiet and the holy space
You’ve been a steady light, a vessel of grace
ChorusYou are strong, you are caring, an open door
The kind of brother I could only pray for
With an understanding heart that always sees me through
I just want to say how much I love you
Yeah, I just want to say how much I love you
BridgeWhen the world gets heavy and the spirit bends
You're not just my brother, you're a lifelong friend
Your love is a reflection of the grace we know
I am so blessed to walk this road with Joe
Final Chorus'Cause you are strong, you are caring, an open door
The kind of brother I could only pray for
With an understanding heart that always sees me through
I just want to say how much I love you
Oh, Joe, I just want to say how much I love you
