It really hit me tonight as I listened to this how awed Joseph must have been when he realized he was going to be the earthly father of God's son. Joseph, you did well❤🙏
Oooh wow! Joseph's role in Jesus' life is often over looked. He must have had great inner strength and patience to raise and care for Jesus as he grew. He must also have been humbled and honored to have been entrusted with this responsibility..
Trust me, I would of definitely been humbled and that is why God chose him. His heart was clean, pure and patient. 😢❤ Big up to Joseph and Mary, the Lord loved them truly!
Tears in my eyes! I can’t imagine raising the Lord Jesus, when my own babies were so loved and treasured. Thank you Lord for sending His to earth to save us!
Dear juses Christ please help me.i trust in u.i beg u.i need to walk.i am miss everything in my life friends happiness joyfull and all.please return me everything.all laughing at me.............sadness.do some miracle for me and my family.please pray for me.my name is m.dharani.amen.
Can you imagine how overwhelmed Joseph must have felt when he realized he would be responsible for raising the savior of the world. This song does a good job of capturing some tender thoughts Joseph may very well have had.
My son who was 13 had a child with a girl his age, gave birth to my Granddaughter, who’s named Alivianna. Long story short, the girl’s family gave Alivianna up for adoption. In all this, I was not ready to be a Grandmother knowing the context in which the whole story took place. I don’t know what God holds for us all. Please pray for Elijah, Alivianna, the Peterman’s (adoptive parents), and my family. Praise be to God!
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." - John 16:33
Thank you Joseph for being Jesus Earthly father whilst he was a child before he became your Saviour...Our Saviour too ! Thank God the Heavenly Father for all his Wonders, Grace, Forgiveness and Love ! 🙏❤🏴
Although we know that Joseph died before Jesus started his ministry, this song is so beautiful and poignant ,it filled my heart with love ❤, thank you for sharing it
I agree. The message is so beautiful. There have been others who have commented on the historical inaccuracy and not been able to see beyond that. I can almost imagine such a conversation transpiring in heaven transpiring and the message remains as one that makes me think and feel gratitude for both humble men.
Wow! This song brought tears to my eyes! My husband is our oldest son's "Step Dad." Though he was more of a Father to our son than his own biological Father chose to be. What a touching song! I will be listening to this more often and sharing it with man many others. 😍❤
This brought tears to my eyes, so moving,,, Joseph was the foster father of Our Lord.. Joseph, most chaste spouse of the Virgin Mary, Foster Father of Our Lord Jesus, Pray for us... Amen!
I think you're absolutely right and you make a great point. That said, it is certainly inspiring to dive into the fictional realm with these wonderful forgotten carols to imagine what our own experience might have been if we had been a part of that wondrous story. Thanks for sharing.
Agreed.That was Jesus' last will and testament while dying on the cross, for John to take her as her own mother, before he said ' it is finished' and died.
Forgotten? He is revered more than or equal to any Saints across the word, especially among catholics. The name Joseph with its diminutive forms are quite popular.
How blessed and absolutely privileged Mary and Joseph was to have time with our Saviour in the flesh! Lord, thank you for Your Son, thank You for His teachings and example. I love Him with all my heart.
Imagine if the Passion Of Jesus took place while St. Joseph was alive. Because of St. Joseph’s love for Jesus, he probably would have tried to stop it. But, that is the reason he passed away before Jesus began teaching.
O St. Joseph prayers for all fathers to LOVE THEIR CHILDREN, to LIVE and SPREAD the WORD of GOD ALMIGHTY, to comprehend that Fathers themselves after aged and weak, will need their son/s, In Jesus' the ONE you were requested to care for, we pray, Amen.
We don't always think about how hard it must have been for Mary and Joseph, having to raise the son of God. But God picked the perfect parents for him the love and reverence they had for our Savior. This song says it all and touched me very deeply. Thank you God for sending us a Savior.
Blessed St Joseph look after all those honoured to be fathers . In what ever way. Of course we remember Our Lord Christ and Our Lady Mary , but often St Joseph gets forgotten . It about time he was honoured more . It the Orthodox and Roman Catholic traditions he is . But it's still not enough.
Heiliger Josef, guter Nährvater Jesu, und Fürsprecher der Familien, der Arbeiter und der Sterbenden, bitte für uns 🙏🕊🤍 Amen Danke, das Du da warst an Marias und Jesu Seite ♥️♥️♥️ Danke das Du auf den Engel Gottes gehört hast 🤍🕊🙏
This song entered my life just at the right time. It is so beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us. Jesus is amazing, wonderful, our Saviour and everything we will ever need! Thank God, He is my Father.
What a beautiful, powerful song! I look so much forward to meeting you, Joseph, in eternity. Thanks for your readiness to play your so important part when Jesus came!
He was working late one evening With the wood he knew so well When she thought she recognized him Though at first, She really couldn't tell As she humbly begged his pardon A strange sadness swelled inside When she asked, "aren't you the father Of that man they crucified?" Then the carpenter repeated What he's said so many times He said, "I as not His father, He was mine." Then he humbly went on working With those worn and caloused hands Though she did not ask more questions He knew she didn't understand. So he asked if she would help him And he saw her answer in a glance She did all the chores he asked her She was so grateful for the chance Then they talked for hours of Jesus And how he knew He was divine He said "I was not His father, He was mine. For how could one So foolish and so flawed Ever hope to raise the Son of God?" Then he spoke of the misgivings That he had had a thousand times And how Jesus found the tender moments To let him know He had done just fine And then the carpenter recited The greatest truths he'd ever learned And testified they all came form Jesus And then her heart within her burned They embraced as she departed, And Joseph told her one more time, "Tell them I was not His father Tell them He was mine No, I was not His father, He is mine.
Touching and so moving, as Catholic, the church celebrates a whole year Dec 8, 2020 to Dec 8,2021 dedicated to St Joseph. Thank you for providing our Lord Jesus a good family here on earth
All I can say is 'Praise God' for our Wonderful Savior, Lord and very soon returning King! 2 Thess. 2nd Chapter! Thank you Mike for such a beautiful video! God Bless you all and win as many people to Christ before the 'Rapture' happens! 1 Thess. 4:16-18. Brother Joe.
I’ve always felt that Joseph was a great unsung hero in the history of this world. He was a flawed man who was called by God the Father to do something that no other man had ever, or would ever do. To raise the literal son of God. As a father, grandfather, and now a great grandfather, Joseph has become a hero to me. Thank you for writing and singing this song!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful song! Touched me as I listened to it! Thank you Jesus for coming into my life many years ago! Need to share this on my sight... Beautiful!
❤ how a heart could be so teachable. We became who we are supposed to be by letting Him teach us by Humility of a child awaken the potential of being appointed by destiny, which means « time and space in each one of us*. That’s what Yeshua is in the Here and Now.
One of the most beautiful songs I have heard and the video touches the heart to know the meaning of the sheep and what Joseph has to be thinking. Although Joseph was not alive at the time of the crucifixion
There were only two great persons who were fortunate enough to be buried by God Himself. One was Prophet Moses in the old Testament and another was St. Joseph the foster Father of Lord Jesus in the New Testament. It is accordingly to the Sacred Tradition.
Very beautiful & touching. There is very little written about Joseph in the scriptures. But this song brings out the emotions of Joseph so beautifully specially his realisation of the divinity of Jesus when he says "I was not His father, He was mine. "
Thank you for your words. I think that is what I like so much about it as well, the humility and humanity of what any man might have felt in that sacred role when recognizing how influential, divine and fatherly his son was to him, especially when he had been charged with such a daunting and sacred responsibility to raise the son of God. Doctrine aside, historical chronology aside, this beautiful message certainly makes me appreciate and ponder on my role as a father.
God is pure love,,,as I myself just felt within my entire being, entire soul longing for my Eternal Fabba who created me beautiful and precious in mimamita's precious womb! 🤰👼🙏🤗❤Blessed Be Unto our Lord God Only One Majesty Most High!
Joseph is such an inspiration to me. I’m in tears right now lol My wife and I were both married before we got together. I had no children and she had 3 boys. I won’t ramble but I will tell you he got on drugs and abandoned his family. My wife and I have been married for 13 years and I never met the man, they should tell you enough. Point is I come from a very traditional conservative circle and it was hard as a man to know people are talking and scoffing behind my back. It hurt my pride. Also it is only through the Lord I raised and loved those boys. It was not easy and went against my flesh and pride in every way. We had two more boys together and I can tell you with all honesty I love all my sons the same. The oldest two grew up and are married and now I have 4 grandchildren of my own at the tender age of 42. It’s the biggest blessing in my life and when it was tough I thought about Joseph and what he sacrificed (pride mostly) and it helped me through. My point is not to pay myself on the back, it’s for any man raising a child who is not yours. If you cannot love them like your own either pray to God for the strength or don’t persue a woman with children. Those boys now call me father and it brings so much joy to me. Remember all the Lord has done for you as we celebrate advent and Christmas. God bless you all and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Tomorrow is the feast of St.Joseph...May he intercede for us.
Thank you Joseph for taking care of Jesus and raising him
A rare privilege
he is just an instrument , GOD use him GODbless us eveyone dont forget to smile , pray and read Bible

I can’t begin to imagine. This song adds such a beautiful perspective from Joseph.
I agree with you David, you express my sentiments exactly! GOD bless.
Thank you ever so much for this truly enlightening song and GOD bless!!
Trust me, I would of definitely been humbled and that is why God chose him. His heart was clean, pure and patient. 😢❤ Big up to Joseph and Mary, the Lord loved them truly!
Joseph -- the man chosen by God to be the father of His Son 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Tears in my eyes! I can’t imagine raising the Lord Jesus, when my own babies were so loved and treasured. Thank you Lord for sending His to earth to save us!
Joseph: the awesome man that God the Father chose to be Jesus’s daddy. What a huge role he played in God’s plan.
Dear juses Christ please help me.i trust in u.i beg u.i need to walk.i am miss everything in my life friends happiness joyfull and all.please return me everything.all laughing at me.............sadness.do some miracle for me and my family.please pray for me.my name is m.dharani.amen.

Such a soul touching song. Yes, God picked a wonderful earthly father for Jesus. God's plans are always perfect.
Papa Joseph, thank you for loving, protecting and taking care of Our Blessed Mother and our Savior
AMEN AMEN AMEN
💖💖💖
I call him Papa Joseph too,! God Bless. Pray 🙏 to Papa Joseph he's also powerful.
This shows how important adoptions in this fallen world. Caring and nurturing little ones who are not biologically their own.
Blessings
The Bible does teach us to tend to the widows and orphans

What an honour ,to be chosen , by God to raise Jesus ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I believe that is true. Jesus wouldn't have given his mother into John's care if Joseph had still been alive to privide for her.
I think you're absolutely right and you make a great point. That said, it is certainly inspiring to dive into the fictional realm with these wonderful forgotten carols to imagine what our own experience might have been if we had been a part of that wondrous story. Thanks for sharing.
St. Joseph passed away about 04 years before Jesus left Nazareth for His public mission...
He gave her a son and him a mother, nothing about giving into care.
Agreed.That was Jesus' last will and testament while dying on the cross, for John to take her as her own mother, before he said ' it is finished' and died.
Is the only reason Jesus returned. He was gone for 18 years travelling the whole world. Then he came back for his mother after Joseph died
St. Joseph. The forgotten Saint
We have a hospital in Liberia after Joseph. It's called ST Joseph hospital
Forgotten? He is revered more than or equal to any Saints across the word, especially among catholics. The name Joseph with its diminutive forms are quite popular.
How blessed and absolutely privileged Mary and Joseph was to have time with our Saviour in the flesh! Lord, thank you for Your Son, thank You for His teachings and example. I love Him with all my heart.
THANK YOU PAPA JOSEPH FOR TAKING CARE OF BROTHER JESUS AND MAMA MARY...LORD JESUS YOUR CROSS IS OUR HOPE....🙏💘✛❤🙏
Jesus’s was the son of god but he still had a dad named Joseph and a mom named Mary.
Joe was a great guy who took care of God son today the Lord Jesus Christ is taking care of him
Imagine if the Passion Of Jesus took place while St. Joseph was alive. Because of St. Joseph’s love for Jesus, he probably would have tried to stop it. But, that is the reason he passed away before Jesus began teaching.
Words for contemplating, I was not His father, He was mine”✝️❤️
I have never heard a more beautiful story and song, how precious. Thank you Jesus
You should watch the whole musical Forgotten Carols. It made my non believing husband cry!
I was not his father but He is mine father.... Absolute truth !
O St. Joseph prayers for all fathers to LOVE THEIR CHILDREN, to LIVE and SPREAD the WORD of GOD ALMIGHTY, to comprehend that Fathers themselves after aged and weak, will need their son/s, In Jesus' the ONE you were requested to care for, we pray, Amen.

A humble man with such responsabily! I admire Saint Joseph. He os one le mi devotions,
I very thoughtful song. Thanks!
BE BAPTIZED IN JESUS NAME, BY WATER AND BY THE HOLY SPIRIT !!!!!
What a beautiful, powerful song!
I look so much forward to meeting you, Joseph, in eternity. Thanks for your readiness to play your so important part when Jesus came!
Joseph ,his name means to add.One of my favorite names.
He saved Jesus just for us, like his name here we are ,and for certain he did add.
He was working late one evening
With the wood he knew so well
When she thought
she recognized him
Though at first,
She really couldn't tell
As she humbly begged his pardon
A strange sadness swelled inside
When she asked,
"aren't you the father
Of that man they crucified?"
Then the carpenter repeated
What he's said so many times
He said, "I as not His father,
He was mine."
Then he humbly went on working
With those worn
and caloused hands
Though she did not ask
more questions
He knew she didn't understand.
So he asked if she would help him
And he saw her answer
in a glance
She did all the chores
he asked her
She was so grateful for the chance
Then they talked for hours of Jesus
And how he knew He was divine
He said "I was not His father,
He was mine.
For how could one
So foolish and so flawed
Ever hope to raise
the Son of God?"
Then he spoke
of the misgivings
That he had had
a thousand times
And how Jesus found
the tender moments
To let him know
He had done just fine
And then the carpenter recited
The greatest truths
he'd ever learned
And testified
they all came form Jesus
And then her heart
within her burned
They embraced as she departed,
And Joseph told her one more time,
"Tell them I was not His father
Tell them He was mine
No, I was not His father,
He is mine.
Thank you for posting the lyrics.

Thank you Father for you precious Son..🙏🎄
i love his song 🎵 deep in my ❤heart
So Beautiful. 😢❤🙏
I wonder.. did Jesus look like Mary? Imagine.. she saw herself in Him. The human side of her. I wonder what thoughts they had raising Him.
Pray for God the father’sWill
As many times as I have thought
of this story
Never once had i thought of this.
WOW what a song
3:25-3:36 was priceless 🥺😭❤️
Most outstanding my heart of Love for Jesus poured out as I listened of the Love Joseph and Jesus shared, WOW! Truly anointed, thank you so much!

My wife and I were both married before we got together. I had no children and she had 3 boys.
I won’t ramble but I will tell you he got on drugs and abandoned his family. My wife and I have been married for 13 years and I never met the man, they should tell you enough.
