Joseph was really a lucky yet poor father: How can a man be the father of the Son of God? That might be the reason why he died so early. However, he was really a just husband.
Amazing Song Amazing Saviour Thank youFather God for the Gift of your Son Jesus Christ. T he Son of God who takes away the Sins of the World. Is He your Saviour.? If Not Receive His Love Mercy and Forgiveness. Only a Prayer away. Thank you Michael For Sharing your God given gift with us.
This has been one of my top favorite songs for many years. I wish it were as popular as others at Christmas. I just love Michael Cards voice and how he presents all his songs.
You can really hear the love in this song. Jesus may have been Gods son but he was the son of Mary and Joseph. They went through pregnancy and his whole earthly life just as normal people do with their children.
@djdw2008 - Joseph was just a man, chosen by God to raise His son Jesus the Christ. Jesus is the one who will never let you down and Jesus is the only One who can protect you, He is the One you should pray to and ask for intercession. Yes Joseph was a good man, but he's not your savior. Jesus is.
what a beautiful song i couldnt help but cry it his hard enough to be a father to one's own child much less someone elses but i love all children Joseph what an example R.
Any man can be a father; it takes someone like Joseph to be a daddy to someone else's son; especially the heavenly child. If ONLY all men could be the daddy's they are entitled to be. Those who don't appreciate the right they have, may the way be paved for those men who do want to be a father to someone else's child. Wouldn't we all be in a better place now? I know I would. J
Joseph, the forgotten Saint, one of the most important people in the Bible who doesn't have a single speaking line. He's one of my favorite role models in all of history.
"How can I raise a king?" Every mom and dad who raise their children in the love of God are raising kings:
I Peter 2:9 "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"
Thats true, she was chosen, but don't you think Joseph was chosen too? I do. It wasn't just any man. God is the real "father" of Jesus but I think Joseph played a huge role. Joseph was there for at least 12 years of Jesus's life. Fathers are very important In most cultures, especially the Jewish one. I think what Hannah meant was that they make such a big deal of Mary that Joseph's role is underplayed. It was very important. Thank God for Joseph! :) Thanks for watching!

@mkeaton22896 , Thanks for your love of Christ and the man He chose to raise and nurture Him. Peace always in the Most Precious Blood of Jesus our Great God and Saviour
When you call on St. Joseph, pray to him and I can promise he will answer. I know because of him I was born with the gift of poetry. I have helped many people because this great St asked the creator to give me a special gift which I give back for all those who ask me to teach them how to pray. St Jospeh was the greatest father and husband I have ever known. Linda Ann Henry-The people's poet
From among all men, God chose Joseph alone to rasie and nurture the boy/God, and Joseph, without reserve and complaint, out of obedience, and out of love. snatched our Saviour and King, Jesus, away from Herod. We owe everything to Joseph! Thank you Joseph. Rest in God always!
I sang this to my Dad the night before he had a heart transplant 11 years ago. My dad is the greatest and I love him. This song is his favorite ( and mine too). Thanks God for letting me keep my dad here with me all these years, and thanks God for the donor family. We love them so much...
indeed no words can express the awesomeness of God what he did to us. That is completely erasing our sins. And that we can live eternally with him and fellow belivers in Heaven.
At Dollywood a few years ago at Christmas, they had Joseph singing this from center stage, Mary singing "Breath of Heaven" from the left side, and an angel singing "Mary Did You Know" from the right. All three sang at the same time, and it sounded like one song. It took your breath away it was so beautiful. I think the Ft Lauderdale Pagent also has done it that way.
From all the good saints I've known, Joseph was one that I respected the most. And whenever I hear this song... There is some bitterness in my heart... Such a wonderful man and Godly man is he. Saint Joseph.
I wonder, the Bible doesn't speak much about Joseph, Michael Card in this song makes an assumption that Joseph was a good virtuous man. I'm not saying that he wasn't I don't know but what if he wasn't as good and virtueous as the song suggests. The Scriptures that we do have suggest that he did follow divine direction, so I could be all wrong in asking this.
Joseph could have had Mary put to death for being pregnant and not married in their culture that is what michael card's song scribbling in the sand is all about. If you read the beginning of Mathew and Luke you will see for yourself that he also took a long trip to egypt to protect Mary and the baby Jesus. sounds like a pretty good guy to me!
I guess I wasn't questioning if he was a good guy, I am just questioning if he was a good and sensitive a guy as songs like this make him out to be. What if Christ had a rough and possibly abusive and or neglectful father. What if his father was difficult like many fathers out there. The Bible teaches that Christ understands our pain, part of this understanding was due to his personal experience as a man. Joseph could have been a very nice man. I don't know.
Excelent questions. : ) I believe rose has brought significant points to the argument in describing what Joseph was prepared to take on, upon faith alone. He had no angelic visitors but believed the dream he had. Further than that the Bible describes him as virtuous & his love of Mary obvious. I guess it comes down to whether you believe the Biblical account & it's implications or not? God bless : )
If you're asking sincerely, then I suppose that your question is not untimely. Please read Matthew and Luke, and see the challenges he had to face. Only a virtuous man would risk his own life for a baby that was not his...
Wish I could give this 6 stars. Having a daughter and grandchildren "not of my flesh and blood" I can somwhat relate. Can not EVEN imagine what it would be like to be raise the Son of God! This was a great movie by the way.
I'm reading the replies and I felt lead to send a special Christmas wish to you and your loved ones. I beleive that Jesus has the chance to reach more people this year since the economy is so bad and more people will focus on loving their family just because, and not only because of lavished gifts.
Praise God,
In your field you must get to see many many of God's miracles. As I assume you are a nurse / paramedic.
After I retired from the military worked as a paramedic then whent to RN school. Been a RN for 3 yrs now and volunteer in EMS. Live and work in a small rual town. Yes, indeed hae seen Gods hand move in my life and others. Recently saw a good Christian man die surrouinded by family and friends. He went home to the Lord poor by the worlds standards but notheless , in my eyes, a rich man. That to me is an example of God's hand at work.
I had never heard this song until church this morning.... I cried all the way through it! Can you imagine how Joseph and Mary must have felt at His birth?
Joseph's Song is so earth shattering - it is one of the most, if not the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. As a Catholic, I had forgotten about St. Joseph till I heard this song.
WE love this song. This is a family favorite. We used to just sit quiet and listen to this one. My mom and I and be moved by the thought of our emmanual God with us. This is just such a touching song.
have someone sing this low n one sing it an octive higher it sounds realy pretty my frend n i do it to help my frend patrick to sing it(he has to sing it for the pagent) it sounds really pretty
This is one of my favorite songs. Though I like the version of this song on Michael Card's album 'The Promise' better (the one in this movie sounds like the version from his album 'The Life'). Probably because that's the one I heard first.
I was raised by a "step-father" so this song always had that added element. He treated me better than my father would have, and certainly endured more. Imagine! God was in a unique position of being able to choose His Son's stepfather.
I'm gonna cry. You put one of my favorite movies to one of my favorite songs. This is gorgeous! And I LOVE this Joseph! *sniffs* Oh I am SO gonna cry....
Today I pray for all people's to seek truth and to do that you just have to seek Jesus Christ. He is the way,the truth and the life. Receieve HIM today and know for certain where you will be eternally when you leave this beautiful world. God Bless you my friend.
In my opinion, the character of Joseph in "The Nativity Story" is the best depiction of Joseph ever captured in cinema. Great pics of the movie, and great song.
I Love this song, I can't even imagine putting myself in Joseph's shoes! I think this song has been out for a while, but I tell you what... it wasn't until my Grandmother passed away that I really heard this song... and I think it was because I know this is a song that my Grandmother loved. Thanks so much for posting it!
I like the song but i wonder at times about thew theological implications of the song. God the Father in HIs infinite Wisdom would not have chosen anyone who was inadequate for the task of being the earthly father of HIS Son. Agreed that it would have been quite tough for St. Joseph to bring up the Son of God but none the less the HOly Family are the perfect Family so I am quite sure he would have done a good job as the earthly father of the Son of man
Mary stating in Luke 1:47 shows that she was not Holy. He needed no one because he was God in flesh. If the bible states that there are not good no not one that would include Mary and Joseph.
pastormarc113. How do you explain that the angel Gabriel addressed her "Hail, full of grace"? Not Hail Mary, full of grace. The angels knew her by her condition, not her name.
you didnt hit reply to his comment so i dont know if he will see it ..maybe i read it wrong but it seems like his point was she Wasnt holy ...not that she Was? so your just agreeing with him? why does he need to explain? lol
pastor, God saved His Mother from sin as God saved Elijah from death, and so holy and immaculate was Mary by His grace, that even the blameless before God Elizabeth felt unworthy in her presence, as did David feel unworthy when God's dwelling place of old approached him, (2 Samuel 6:9) as God had been very specific about His dwelling place of old was also to be designed. Peace in the Most Precious Blood of Jesus our Great God and Saviour
@mlbprock Yes, Mary was definitely saved from sin at the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as she trusted in His redemptive work, as all sinners who are saved by grace are blessed to receive. She was not, however, sinless prior to her accepting Christ. "For NONE are righteous, no not one, ALL have fallen short of the glory of God." And Mary herself states in the book of Luke- "Oh God, my Savior" Only a sinner is in need of a Savior.
@amycrn7 , Mary was saved from sin as Elijah was saved from death, (Even though all sinners MUST die) all by God's grace, and so holy and immaculate was Mary that even the BLAMLESS before God Elizabeth felt unworthy as the MOTHER of the LORD approached her. Peace always in the Most Precious Blood of Jesus our Great God and Saviour
@amycrn7 , Actually, Mary was saved from sin by her God and Saviour, as Elijah was saved from death by his God and Saviour, even though all who sin must die, (God does make exceptions then!), as Mary was so holy and immaculate by God's grace and design, that even the BLAMELESS before God Elizabeth felt unworthy as the Mother of the Lord approached her. Peace always in the Most Precious Blood of Jesus our Great God and Saviour
@mintyday , Peace to you always in the Most Precious Blood of Jesus our Great God and Saviour, and may Mary and Joseph be our guides and examples of how to place God's will over our own, all for His Glory, and by their intercession, may we grown in holiness and charity.
thanks for sharing! today at communion time at church they sang this song....I have never hear it before...It left me without words...as soon as I came home I looked for it on you tube and thanks to you I found it. I am not sharing it with my loved ones. TXS
Actually, I was wondering if maybe you had other songs that were Christian... like in general. Also, I was wondering if maybe you wanted someone to keep in touch with, who you can share "Christian ideas with." My name is Liz, by the way, and I promise. I'm not trying to weird you out. I just thought maybe if you want we could exchange e-mail addresses, and sort of penpal over e-mail. I really appreciate that you took the time to respond to my comments. God bless. Liz

Joseph's Song is so earth shattering - it is one of the most, if not the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. As a Catholic, I had forgotten about St. Joseph till I heard this song.

This is one of my favorite songs. Though I like the version of this song on Michael Card's album 'The Promise' better (the one in this movie sounds like the version from his album 'The Life'). Probably because that's the one I heard first.

I was raised by a "step-father" so this song always had that added element. He treated me better than my father would have, and certainly endured more. Imagine! God was in a unique position of being able to choose His Son's stepfather.

Today I pray for all people's to seek truth and to do that you just have to seek Jesus Christ. He is the way,the truth and the life. Receieve HIM today and know for certain where you will be eternally when you leave this beautiful world. God Bless you my friend.

In my opinion, the character of Joseph in "The Nativity Story" is the best depiction of Joseph ever captured in cinema. Great pics of the movie, and great song.

I Love this song, I can't even imagine putting myself in Joseph's shoes! I think this song has been out for a while, but I tell you what... it wasn't until my Grandmother passed away that I really heard this song... and I think it was because I know this is a song that my Grandmother loved. Thanks so much for posting it!

I like the song but i wonder at times about thew theological implications of the song. God the Father in HIs infinite Wisdom would not have chosen anyone who was inadequate for the task of being the earthly father of HIS Son. Agreed that it would have been quite tough for St. Joseph to bring up the Son of God but none the less the HOly Family are the perfect Family so I am quite sure he would have done a good job as the earthly father of the Son of man

Mary stating in Luke 1:47 shows that she was not Holy. He needed no one because he was God in flesh. If the bible states that there are not good no not one that would include Mary and Joseph.

pastormarc113. How do you explain that the angel Gabriel addressed her "Hail, full of grace"? Not Hail Mary, full of grace. The angels knew her by her condition, not her name.

you didnt hit reply to his comment so i dont know if he will see it ..maybe i read it wrong but it seems like his point was she Wasnt holy ...not that she Was? so your just agreeing with him? why does he need to explain? lol

pastor, God saved His Mother from sin as God saved Elijah from death, and so holy and immaculate was Mary by His grace, that even the blameless before God Elizabeth felt unworthy in her presence, as did David feel unworthy when God's dwelling place of old approached him, (2 Samuel 6:9) as God had been very specific about His dwelling place of old was also to be designed. Peace in the Most Precious Blood of Jesus our Great God and Saviour

@mlbprock Yes, Mary was definitely saved from sin at the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as she trusted in His redemptive work, as all sinners who are saved by grace are blessed to receive. She was not, however, sinless prior to her accepting Christ. "For NONE are righteous, no not one, ALL have fallen short of the glory of God." And Mary herself states in the book of Luke- "Oh God, my Savior" Only a sinner is in need of a Savior.

@amycrn7 , Mary was saved from sin as Elijah was saved from death, (Even though all sinners MUST die) all by God's grace, and so holy and immaculate was Mary that even the BLAMLESS before God Elizabeth felt unworthy as the MOTHER of the LORD approached her. Peace always in the Most Precious Blood of Jesus our Great God and Saviour

@amycrn7 , Actually, Mary was saved from sin by her God and Saviour, as Elijah was saved from death by his God and Saviour, even though all who sin must die, (God does make exceptions then!), as Mary was so holy and immaculate by God's grace and design, that even the BLAMELESS before God Elizabeth felt unworthy as the Mother of the Lord approached her.

Actually, I was wondering if maybe you had other songs that were Christian... like in general. Also, I was wondering if maybe you wanted someone to keep in touch with, who you can share "Christian ideas with." My name is Liz, by the way, and I promise. I'm not trying to weird you out. I just thought maybe if you want we could exchange e-mail addresses, and sort of penpal over e-mail. I really appreciate that you took the time to respond to my comments. God bless. Liz
