Father God thank you for sending your son Jesus. Give me the faith and strength of Joseph to be a better father to my own children. May peace and love envelope us in these trying times. Holy Spirit be with us and guide us as you did Joseph.
This one tugs at my heartstrings every single time.❤ St Joseph was a good and holy father and protector of Jesus. I'm very grateful that he chose to, and had the courage, to do God's Will. I'm so thankful to Mercy Me for making this song. Thank you.❤
Go to sleep my Son This manger for your bed You have a long road before You Rest Your little head Can You feel the weight of Your glory? Do You understand the price? Or does the Father guard Your heart for now So You can sleep tonight? Go to sleep my Son Go and chase Your dreams This world can wait for one more moment Go and sleep in peace I believe the glory of Heaven Is lying in my arms tonight But Lord, I ask that He for just this moment Simply be my child Go to sleep my Son Baby, close Your eyes Soon enough You'll save the day But for now, dear Child of mine Oh my Jesus, Sleep tight
This song is very touching. This song should be heard by everyone, especially those who know what it's like to love a child. It also is a much better representation of Joseph and his heart than most other times he's represented. I've portrayed Joseph twice in church productions and I always try to get to know, as best I can through reading, who I portray. Through my preparation and listening to this song I realized that Joseph was not the heartless piece of stone that most people represent him as. Also, I raised my neice from the time she was six months old until she was a little over a year old and I came to love her as if she were my child, however her mother has not allowed any contact since. As such I understand, though on a much smaller scale, when Joseph just wants to be the best father he can to Jesus while he has Him, and he wants Jesus to be spared the knowledge of what's coming. I also love that Joseph is just singing a lullaby to the child who means more to him than all else (except for Mary, but the relationships are so different that they are incomparable). I've sung plenty of lullabies myself, so it's nice to hear a man not being treated like scum for simply being male.
+Elias Markov I agree that Joseph is most generally portrayed so very opposite. He married a woman who others saw unfit because she was pregnant before they actually wed. Joseph is the perfect picture of a loving, caring, righteous man. If he wasn't, I'm pretty sure that God wouldn't have chosen him to raise His son.
Esta canción me hace llorar cada vez que la escucho. Me parece hermoso como habla de la paternidad de José, la cual nunca se le da la importancia que tiene, solo a María. Puedo ver una dulce analogía entre el amor de Dios a nosotros como padre y el amor y cariño con el cual José le canta a su bebé Jesús. Demasiado hermosa!! Increíble Mercy Me y Bart Millard quien las escribe, congrats!! 👏 Saludos desde Costa Rica, Centroamérica!!
So beautiful! This song really brought home to this grammy the fact that God did not spare His own Son from trauma and distress. I pray every day for my grandchildren, the process of accepting the bad things happen in life to others dear to one is very difficult, harder than accepting the things that happen to us personally. But for us, all for us, He sent His Son, who willingly came.
Listening here in 2021. Today was the first time I've ever heard it so I wanted to make sure my girls would, too. Shared! Merry Christmas and many blessings to you!

My friend who heard this sung on Sunday past in church, sent it to me, thought I might like it. She is today, finding out what type of cancer she has and what to do, she already had polio and is in a chair. It is comforting to hear the words, I hope it gave her courage to hear it. Beautiful. Thank you for listening.

I had a stepfather who never told me he was not actually my dad, not in word or deed. This man patiently waited for my mom to tell me. I never had to ask him to be my dad. Even now though he is sick I know he waits. I did something horrible to him, I literally slapped him in the face, I cannot bear the shame even long enough to look him in the eye and tell him that I love him. I am even named after him. Dad, I am a dad now and whatever good I do at it I learned from you. Thank you. Dad I love you. I miss you so much.

Used to sing this to my boy when he was in the wife's belly. He only made it 8 months. I love you Lou daddy misses you.
God bless you @Brandon Alvarez
I'm very sorry for your loss. I LOVE this song, one of the last ones I learned before stopping playing the piano.
I lost a sister the same way. I understand. Love you my friend. May the Lord give you peace. ❤
@@kellymiller3127 Why did you stop playing?
@@user-ms4tl2ys4nHands don't work well anymore.
I love how this song shows Joseph's character. Imagine how hard that would be if that was your son?
Ok I’ve never cried from songs but this made me do that exact thing. This song is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard.

Lord have mercy, this song blesses my heart so much. Makes me cry like a baby!!!
I can't listen to this song without crying. So powerful.
may we praise our Lord as beautifully as this
I cannot get through this song without tears streaming down my face. Thank you.

@@robyncramer9591, well said.
I loved the song & I feel ur heart to have loved a child not to get contact with them!!!
The best part is when she married the monster
I'm not sure Joseph is portrayed like that
what a wonderful song . Joseph chosen by God . and Joseph was a descendant of the House of David !

This song is absolutely stunning
This song melts my heart, what a precious bond Father and Child, and this special child had two BLESSED

This song is so heart-warming :) It's one of my favorites.
I love this song. I just heard a great sermon about Joseph Wednesday night. Merry Christmas Mercy Me and to your family ✝️. Mrs Theresa ❤

Thank you, and blessings for what ever you celebrate.
I've never not cried listening to this. I got sad just thinking of it's tune.
The song brought tears to my eyes
I love this song
This could also be Mary's lullaby. Being a woman, I would love to sing this song to my Jesus!
True. :)
Mary already has a lot of songs though.
it originally was, but since Bart would be singing it, they made it Joseph's... It worked great!
I am so sorry for your loss
TwT This song moved me.... I can't wait for Christmas.
Christ mad is my favorite holiday! Jesus Christ’s B-Day!
Beautiful
Beautiful.
Wow
I think im going to cry. 😭
Love this song!
I am gonna cry ;-;

This is the brother song to "Mary did you know"!
Breath of heaven by Amy Grant.
May did you know is a very annoying song .. Just read the scriptures and you'll have a good idea of what Mary knew and didn't know.
AMEN
Sooooo beautiful😂
