Every year around Christmas, I end up finding a song that just really...I don't know...
...fits, my mood for the season, or really strikes a chord with me.
This year, it is "Joseph's Lullaby" by MercyMe.
It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Please listen hard to the lyrics of this song. The video is beautiful also, but can detract from the words:
Joseph's Lullaby
Go to sleep my son
This manger for your bed
You have a long road before you
Rest your little head.
Do you feel the weight of your glory?
Do you understand the price?
Or 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.
Can you POSSIBLY imagine what must have been going through Joseph's head that night, as he helped birth our Savior? Holding the tiny babe, knowing he is the King of Kings, but so desperately wanting him to just be his little son for awhile? I can't even begin to comprehend.
Thank you, Lord, for such a precious gift in Jesus, and his selfless earthly parents, Mary and Joseph.
