The heads would have turned and the tongues have wagged
as she walked the dusty lanes.
Whispered voices would have followed her;
There would be disbelief at her claim.

So I, for love and honor,
took her as my wife.
I believed the angels' whispered words
that set my path for life.

We married, as within her grew
the tiny Son Divine,
in our village, Nazareth.
It was a joyous time.

A simple man, a carpenter,
I wondered more and more,
that God had entrusted her to me,
and the little child she bore.

We didn't want to travel
as time for the birth drew near,
but we had to follow orders
of the Romans we all feared.

And so was born in Bethlehem,
in the stable of an inn,
the Son of God, to my dear wife.
And angels welcomed him.

I knelt before this baby,
so tiny at his birth,
And whispered, “Lord please help me,
be his father here on earth.”
