The Book of Joseph

Oh to have in our canon
the Book of Joseph

The story of the son
growing in the world
before the falling of the dove

To see the babe of the manger
the alien in the foreign land
the child, growing in faith

What he must have seen
the one who would raise the son
the holy one of God, into manhood

A special word of grace
in the Book of Joseph
