Here is the second piece from a little Christmas program I have written. These poetic monologues are dispersed among songs and other symbols of the Christmas Season. I hope these little writings will help turn your attention to my Savior who is Christ the Lord.
Did You See Him – Joseph
Joseph
Did you see Him? I did
I was by Mary’s side
From before He was born
Until His eyes opened wide
My first thoughts, to leave her
My fear almost won
But the Lord then assured me
That this was God’s Son
We took the long journey
To Bethlehem far
Not knowing that others
Were watching a star
So many had gathered
As the law had required
Her time was so close
And she was so tired
The man said “No room”
With concern on his face
But out in his stable
He’d make her a place
I was not quite sure
That this could be right
But no more could I do
We were too tired to fight
So there we both stayed
And then the child came
I looked at God’s Son
I gave Jesus His name
Yes, I saw God’s Son
Asleep on the Hay
But for you there’s a question
Do you see Him today?
See You SONday
