St. Joseph

I have recently fallen head-over-heels in love with St. Joseph. The reason why is something that stays with me.

This song, entitled "Joseph's Lullaby," makes me cry. The beauty of fatherhood... the love present there... Can you imagine holding a tiny baby boy, knowing that He is the prince of peace? Knowing the prophecies about His future (especially Isaiah...), how could his heart help rejoicing, but break at the same time?

Go to sleep my Son
This manger for your bed
You have a long road before You
Rest Your little head

Can You feel the weight of Your glory?
Do You understand the price?
Does the Father guard Your heart for now
So You can sleep tonight?

Go to sleep my Son
Go and chase Your dreams
This world can wait for one more moment
Go and sleep in peace

I believe the glory of Heaven
Is lying in my arms tonight
Lord, I ask that He for just this moment
Simply be my child

Go to sleep my Son
Baby, close Your eyes
Soon enough You'll save the day
But for now, dear Child of mine
Oh my Jesus, Sleep tight
