Backstory:
I wrote this Christmas song after pondering how few songs tell the Nativity story by looking at the characters as a family. I think it gives a poignancy to think that despite their famous individual roles, they created a beautiful little family.
Lyrics:
Mary, Joseph and Jesus
VS 1
It was clear from the very start
She would be unique among all mothers
Virgin girl, humble in her heart
God had favored her above all others
His promise was a holy birth
To bring salvation here to earth
CHORUS
No other people lived such a story
God born a human, leaving His glory
Mary who carried Him
Joseph who watched over Him
Mary, Joseph and Jesus
VS 2
Joseph stunned—-had he been betrayed?
Did an angel really visit Mary?
Worried thoughts found him as he prayed
He would cancel quietly their marriage
An angel came to Joseph, too
Then he knew Mary’s word was true
CHORUS
BRIDGE
The Savior brought new hope to earth
As prophecies were spoken
But Jesus was a baby first
So precious to Mary and Joseph
CHORUS
