A virgin child was chosen
From all the human race
To wed a man called Joseph
Who took the Spirit’s place
The child that Mary carried
Conceived before they wed
Was destined from the start of time
To lead the Christian race
Conception of the Spirit - not of mortal man
The start of God’s great plan for man
This plan had been foretold
Joseph was not worried
He asked, “How can this be”?
An angel told him what was true
His destiny fulfilled
In faith he married Mary
A virgin child, his bride
No consummation - still undefiled
They lived as man and wife
The birth took place in stable bleak
No bed - she lay on hay
Christ was born, as scripture said
The prophets had foretold
(Matthew 1:18-22)
