Joseph's Song
=============
w&m: Michael Card, 1982

[Verse 1]
How could it be?  This baby in my arms,
sleeping now so peacefully?
The Son of God the angel said.
How could it be?

[Verse 2]
Lord, I know he's not my own.
Not of my flesh, seems not of my bones.
Still, Father, let this baby be
the son of my love.

[Refrain]
Father show me where I fit into this plan of Yours.
How can a man be father to the Son of God?
Lord, for all my life I've been a simple carpenter.
How can I raise a king, How can I raise a king?

[Verse 3]
He looks so small, His face and hands so fair.
And when He cries, the sun just seems to disappear.
But when He laughs, it shines again.
How could it be?

[Refrain]

[Verse 4 (Verse 1 reprise)]
How could it be?  This baby in my arms,
sleeping now so peacefully?
The Son of God the angel said.
How could it be?
