What Joseph's face might have looked like after hearing about Mary's "perpetual virginity." |
Joseph, Did You Know... You'd Stay a Virgin, Too?
*To the tune of Mary, Did You Know?
Joseph, did you know
That your wedding night would end in prayer and fasting?
Joseph, did you know
That your dreams of love would face a vow everlasting?
Did you know
That your chaste embrace would guard a virgin's call?
And that your marriage bed
Would be the holiest of all?
Joseph, did you know
That your baby boy would redefine your mission?
Joseph, did you know
That perpetual virginity was Mary’s disposition?
Did you know
That your sacrifice would shape salvation’s plan?
And that your silent suffering
Would make you God’s best man?
The vows stayed true, the nights were cold,
Your patience shone like gold.
The angels sang, the heavens cheered,
For the purity you upheld so bold.
Joseph, did you know
That your role as spouse meant no consummation?
Joseph, did you know
You’d be a saint through holy resignation?
Did you know
That while others wed with passion’s fire,
You’d guard the Virgin Mother—
A protector to admire?
