The awesome responsibility
to trust in his dream
the angel calling to him
to believe in her faithfulness
to believe the ancient prophecy
the ancient words come alive in Mary
his bride, already heavy with child
He took this upon himself
believing the angel’s story
taking her to himself
and raising the Son of Glory
He offering his own life
to care for her, for the child,
to be the stepfather of God
