Joseph's Prayer to His Baby Son

Joseph's Prayer
 My name is Joseph
 And my friends all call me Joe
 But you believers know me
 As the daddy of your lord
 But not the father of his flesh
 Nor the father of his soul
 Because when it comes to those
 Our Holy Father claims them as his own
 I had a humble life
 From the day Jacob begat me
 And forever I've been told
 That Abraham begat our family tree
 And it grew many branches
 14 generations times three
 Then it was up to me to start another branch I'm sure you see
 So I hooked up with Mary
 And we wed right away
 I never laid a hand on her I swear
 I never laid a hand on her I swear
 So what's a man to do
 As he has a wife with child
 And he knows all that I knew
 And all I know you now know too
 So we decided to run away
 Instead of hanging our heads in shame
 But an angel said to stay
 And rejoice in this new born king
 And embrace his name
 But I never laid a hand on her I swear
 I never laid a hand on her I swear
