ANNUNCIATION MATTHEW 1:18-25
Joseph! Do not fear —
For God-with-us will soon be here.
A tender shoot from David’s tree, he needs a place where he can be,
To grow — to learn, to harden hands which once will loosen prisoners’ bands.
He needs a home, a shop, a tool, he needs a father’s loving rule,
To grow in wisdom, stature, grace, to show his Heavenly Father’s face
To all who come — who ever will.
Joseph! Do not fear —
Though days ahead may not be clear,
A father’s faith will be the gift you give the world tonight
— A father’s faith, a husband’s love, a faithful son of David’s trust:
Joseph! Do not fear.
