Joseph's Lullaby - MercyMe

My parents and I have loved a Christmas song called Joseph's Song for a very long time.  When I was growing up we were always looking for new Christmas albums to collect and we saw that one track was called "Joseph's Lullaby" on the MercyMe's The Christmas Sessions.  Naturally we got it.  We were sad at first that it was not the song we were looking for, but this song quickly became a favorite Christmas Song.  Enjoy!

Lyrics


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

Songwriters
FRED PRATT GREEN, RUSSELL SCHULZ-WIDMAR
