Never dreamed of the role he would play  

Engaged to a woman to marry one day

Fair to say this story is rather wild

The Virgin Mary is with child

Joseph was a just and hard working man

Carpenter, hammer and chisel in hand

Soon to carve out a place of history 

A master piece of Divine Mystery 

Immaculate Mary conceived without sin

Vessel of the Son of Man holy virgin

By the Holy Spirit she conceived 

Queen of the Divine Mystery 

The Angel of the Lord in a dream

Son of David take the hand of Mary

This child will take the sins of man away

Never dreamed of the role he would play

Joseph raised from sleep did the Lord's will

Son of David, the father of Emmanuel

The hammer and chisel of Yahweh

Never dreamed of the role he would play
