Joseph's Song

Here are the lyrics to a song that I haven't heard in over eighteen years. The other day I had the first part of the song in my head and couldn't get it out. I googled the first line and tadaa! - there it was (I love the internet!). It is sung by Michael Card and I believe he wrote the lyrics as well. The song, titled "Joseph's Song", is from the perspective of Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus.

Joseph's Song

How could it be this baby in my arms
Sleeping now, so peacefully
The Son of God, the angel said
How could it be.

Lord I know He's not my own
Not of my flesh, not of my bone
Still Father let this baby be
The Son of my love.

Father show me where I fit into this plan of Yours
How can a man be father to the Son of God?
Lord for all my life I've been a simple carpenter
How can I raise a King? How can I raise a King?

He looks so small, His face and hands so fair
And when He cries the sun just seems to disappear
But when He laughs it shines again
How could it be?
