Joseph was a man of simple means
Mary was his faithful bride-to-be
Before they had a chance to make a home
Off the Bethlehem they had to go
They had to go
They had to go
Joseph had a vision in a dream
That Mary would give birth to a king
An angel of the Lord said it was so
And on the Bethlehem they would go
They would go
They would go
He will raise a son and name him Jesus
Trusted with the one who will lead us
We celebrate on Christmas day
The child of God who came and Joseph raised
Joseph raised
When they reached the town of Bethlehem
They found there was no room at the inn
So in a lowly stable he became
Father to the son who came to save
Who came to save
He came to save
He will raise a son and name him Jesus
Trusted with the one who will lead us
We celebrate on Christmas day
The child of God who came and Joseph raised
Joseph raised
He will have the strength to carry the weight of this calling
And the Gospel of the Lord will tell his story
And Joseph is praised
Joseph is praised
