Joseph, Look and See is a heart warming look at Mary and Joseph's experience after Jesus' birth. It is set to an original text that depicts the nativity as a conversation between Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus and the Lord.
This work was premiered as part of the annual Gallery of Living Art performance at First Lutheran Church, Colorado Springs, Colorado in 2010.
Joseph, Look and See is an accessible, colorful work with an equally interesting piano accompaniment.
TEXT:
Joseph, look and see
As I hold our new child,
As he looks up at me,
How he smiles.
As the angel foretold,
Gift more precious than gold,
Only peace in his eyes,
Tiny eyes.
And behold,
It’s your star,
My Jesus.
But how will I raise
The Son of Man (God)?
Even now,
Herod searches for my child (baby boy).
Jesus, look and see
All the stars in the night,
As the light of the Lord
Shines down upon you,
My son.
Guide us with your light.
Guide us, Lord,
As we flee,
The dark of night.
Joseph, look and see
Jesus smile back at me,
As I sing him a song,
My (child) baby, Jesus.
Baby Jesus,
Savior of the world.
Approx. 3''18 in length.
