A defiant cry
Of a man
Standing in grief
On a terrible day
When the earth stood still

In the midst
Of the wringing of hands
And wrestling prayer
He extends the hand
And heart

A steady love
Holds in the confessing
When the pain burns
And redemption
Comes

In a dream
The angel praises
The gift given
To a man who loves
A woman

Joseph wakens and kneels
In humble adoration
To proclaim
The ultimate goodness of God

In the flickering candle light
An unbelieving heart
Receives with faith
The promised One
Entrusted to his care


But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, 'Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.' Matthew 1:18
