  • Because this is my channel, I can do serious videos if I want to. And I want to. So, in honor of the Feast of St. Joseph, here is "Joseph and Son," a song I wrote imagining Joseph's dying words to Jesus.
    A very big "thank you" to all the artists who created pieces for this video!

      Basically "That the child that you delivered, would soon deliver you" from "Mary did you know", but it doesn't contradict any Marian Dogma.

      Mary sings, "My spirit rejoices in God my Savior," so it is heretical to assert that Mary was not delivered; the dogma is that she was delivered from original sin, from the moment of her conception but still by the Merit of her Son.

    Lyrics:
    Come a little closer, my son
    My eyes are tired and the light is almost gone
    Come let me touch you one last time
    Let me feel the flesh of God, just let me hold my child divine
    I used to fear I couldn’t do
    The task your Father gave to me, to raise you to be you
    But now I look at you and know
    He didn’t let me fail, so I don’t fear that anymore
    Oh, my Son, now my work’s done
    And it’s time for me to fall asleep
    So my dear one, when your hour comes
    Be who you are. Feed your sheep
    I know this isn’t what you want
    So let your tears fall down, but don’t forget the things I taught you
    Devil will rage and death will sting
    But soon they'll both be buried by my boy, the King of Kings
    Oh, my Son, now my work’s done
    And I’ll rest in a grave of stone and mud
    And my dear one, when your hour comes
    Be who you are. Shed your blood.
    Behold, I’m telling you a mystery
    The one that I adopted is the one who’ll adopt me
    Oh, my Son, now my race is run
    But we know you’ll see my face again
    And on that last day, you’ll hear me say
    You were who you are. Amen.

      When you look for things you don't like , you will quickly find reason to complain and that's pretty much the opposite of worship, plenty of songs of worship and a lot of new songs that are good.
      I question the theological accuracy of this and it is not a worship or praise song.
      Traditional things sometimes are just comfortable and not new songs.

      @@danielcooke9974 I didn't say worship music. I said contemporary Christian music, and what I meant by that was the generic cookie cutter lyrics and melodies that poorly copy secular pop music. It's a similar story in contemporary country music. I can tell when a song is written by a genuine artist and when it's written as a cash grab by 'the industry'. I do agree with you though that old doesn't equal better. Antiquated vocabulary doesn't necessarily mean more intelligent or theologically sound. I do give more artistic license to those songs like I consider this one that isn't trying to be direct worship, but is getting a person to think about the Biblical story from different angles or view points. Frankly, I'll even take the bubblegum Christian pop if it gets people thinking about Jesus in their lives

    A beautiful story portrayed through beautiful lyrics.
    How often we forget, Joseph was a mortal man, and he remained a mortal man to the moment his last borrowed Divine breath escaped his lips. We don't talk about Joseph much in church life, largely because Joseph isn't really mentioned much in Scripture beyond the Nativity. But consider the heady responsibility given to Joseph by God: You will raise my Son, and you will be the earthly father of Him Who is King of Creation.
    What must it have been like in those final mortal moments for Joseph? What memories flashed through his mind and played over his heart in those final seconds before in one blink this world went dark and Joseph found himself looking upon the face of his son, Jesus, glorified in Heaven.

      I doubt as a 1st century Jewish man that he was able to fully grasp that the Messiah had already come and he probably didn't know much beyond that. Even the disciples were lost in denial and ignorance until God opened their understanding. This was after the resurrection. As to what extend God revealed his plan I can't fully say but I highly doubt that Joseph was able to discern the theological facts that we today take for granted.

    • @TS-yd6cn
      @TS-yd6cn Год назад

      Amen! Whether or not Joseph knew his adopted son is king of all, I'd believe he grasped enough to understand that someone important and highly favoured had come into the world, given his virgin wife's pregnancy as well as multiple angelic episodes. Joseph was there for it all, and Jesus told his parents where his real father's house was.
      I wonder, sometimes, just how much we see of the final picture, even now. No eye has seen, and no ear has heard what God has prepared. We are waiting for the rest of the plan to unfold, and we have our own ideas about what that will look like, just like the Jews of that time had their own ideas about the Messiah to come. I pray we can wait trustingly for God's faithful fulfilment of every promise.

    I think that as a 1st century Jewish man Yosef of Natzret likely would have struggled to fully grasp that the Messiah-the one he was waiting for-had already come and that he was part of the prophesies regarding the Messiah. Honestly he probably didn't know much beyond that. Even the disciples were lost in denial and ignorance until God opened their understanding. This was after the resurrection, mind you. As to what extent God revealed his plan I can't possibly say but I highly doubt that Yosef was able to discern the theological facts that we today take for granted. All the man probably knew was the Torah, the Prophets, Writings and his own personal experiences. How he interpreted that is unknown but whatever that may be it would have to be within the relevant time and culture.
