Being a Righteous Man – v2

In a tough position

being a righteous man

looking upon his bride

already with child

Wanting to be righteous

to show mercy, compassion,

to send her away in quietness

to spare her a stoning

Humble to our Master

heeding the angel’s story

faithful to God’s calling

to bring her to him

Healing the situation

marrying Mary, 

as the angel commanded

Naming the baby, Jesus,

who would save

all of God’s people
