Joseph was born, Mary was born, each lived their lives on Earth... <br />A world some thought of as forlorn, yet God preserved its worth... <br />These children grew to adult age, betrothed and to be wed <br />And yet before the marriage stage, God intervened instead... <br /> <br />Thus Mary heard about her son, the Saviour yet to be, <br />The One called Jesus who has done so much on Calvary... <br />She learnt that she, a chosen maid, was now so highly blessed <br />And thus God humbly she obeyed, for He knew what was best... <br /> <br />Yes, God chose her and Joseph, too, because their hearts combined <br />With love forever good and true, the best that He could find... <br />Thus two young people lived their lives, God's secret Son to guide, <br />Unlike the husbands and the wives, in houses side-by-side... <br /> <br />Imagine them with Jesus there, the babe, the child, the man, <br />The prophet who would kneel in prayer to daily learn God's plan. <br />Good Shepherd, yet the Lamb of God, the Prince of Peace and more, <br />The King of Calvary whose Blood was destined there to pour... <br /> <br />To think that Mary saw Him live, to think she saw Him die, <br />To think for us His life would give, though centuries passed by... <br />I tell you this, of all we know on Earth or Heaven above, <br />Mary and Joseph and Jesus show this wondrous thing called love... <br /> <br /> <br />Denis Martindale, copyright,15th May 2011. <br /> <br />Mary and Joseph: A Story of Love <br />was shown on Sky Digital today.
