Joseph

Your actions say your faith is great,
And Mary knows that you’ve said “yes;”
Together you for us await
The birth of Him who you’ll know best. 

Your father’s strength comes from above
From Him who chose you for His Son
That He can know His Father’s love–
On earth–will never be undone.

His Father’s grace you give to Him—
He sees you for His mother care
And knows for both of them you live,
As burdens of them both you bear.

When time will come to say “farewell”
As to this life you close your eyes,
You’ll know that with them all is well,
And you’ll see them in Paradise.
