Text :

Mary, are you listening? Mary, are you there?

Mary, help me understand our love so rare.

Joseph, I am listening. Joseph, I am here.

Joseph, this is God’s own plan, and He is near.

Mary, can you promise? Mary, can I know?

Mary, will there be a way for faith to grow?

Joseph, an angel came to quiet my fears.

Joseph, we will have a Son; a Son so dear.

Mary, I will ask God, waiting patiently.

Mary, do you know his name? How can this be?

Joseph, we must have faith. Jesus is his name!

Joseph, will you stay with me? Earths He will frame.

Mary, my answer came. Dreaming in the night

Conveyed Father’s will to me, lending his light.

Joseph, we will love Him. Our hearts will be filled.

Joseph, our love will grow. We must be still.
