Lyrics

Joseph's Prayer
by Johnny Schaefer
Father, you sent your son into the world
You chose the woman I love to bring him here
All this has come about so fast
Help me allay the shock and fear
Teach me the role that I must play
Set a clear path, don't let me stray
Work through me to guide him here on this earth

Father, you sent an angel to Mary
And you sent an angel to me
Clearing our minds
and opening our hearts to what will be
keep them around us day by day
Comforting, showing us the way
Keep them close
Please let them stay

Father, you sent a star to the wise men
Is there a star out there for me?
A light to shine when our world starts to darken
A light to shine for us three
for we also are three
So many twinkling in the night
help us discern which one is right
be our star, light our way
be our star, dear Lord, I pray

Father, you sent us far from our homeland
just when we'd most want to stay
not sure of just where to go
he lies now in hay
my son
your son
our son
