I Am Joseph (God Is with Us)

I am Joseph, I am Mary, I’m traveling on a journey

And I’m carrying a promise that I can’t see

I am scared and I’m excited

I don’t really know what lies ahead of me

And I’m a shepherd on the hillside as common as the clothes I wear

That smell like I’ve been sleeping in a barn

The last people in this world to ever bow before a king

But here we are

God is with us

God is for us

This is my story and this is my song

And God is with us

And God is for us all

And I am Herod in the palace that my pride can build around me

I start thinking I’m the one and only king

Trying desperately to stay upon a throne that never did belong to me

And I am riding with the wise men over hills and through the darkest valleys

Fixed on the star that lights our way

Bringing all the gifts I have to give in worship

When I finally see my Savior’s face

So let’s all gather at the manger

And bring all our hopes and hurts and fears

All of our unworthiness and shame

Knowing every one of us is the reason that He came
