Joseph's Lullaby by Mercy Me

There are a couple of radio stations in Nashville that are only playing Christmas music this month. If you have listened to The Fish here in Nashville, then you've heard this song. Especially since Ford has been a part of our lives, I think about how Mary must have felt when Jesus was born. I never really thought about the earthly father of Jesus, Joseph. Even though he knew that Jesus was the son of God, he still loved him just like every other daddy loves his son. This song made me think of things from Joseph's perspective. If you've heard it or not, here are the sweet lyrics:

Go to sleep my Son
This manger for your bed
You have a long road before You
Rest Your little head

Can You feel the weight of Your glory?
Do You understand the price?
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
