1. Dear Elizabeth
It was good to hear your news

2. Things here are strained
As you can imagine

3. And Joe well you know
Doesn’t seem to smile any more
Doors slam, people can misinterpret Heavens plan
And it hurts to see
How confused he seems

4. Dear Elizabeth, the time just seems to fly
People just stare as you can imagine

5. And Joe, well you know
He doesn’t seem to smile anymore
Eyes blaze and Joseph says
There’s only so much he can take
And it occurs to me
That he just can’t see

6. And God’s will be done Do not be afraid Joseph
to take Mary as your wife

7. Dear Elizabeth, we leave for Bethlehem,
The journey will be long, as you can imagine

8. And Joe, well you know
He doesn’t seem so scared any more
We made plans joining hands
Through the spirit we understand
That this special birth will bring peace on earth

9. And starlight burns with Mothers pain
And heavens angels wept in praise
as God’s will was done

10. Dear Elizabeth, our son was born this night
Mary is tired as you can imagine

11. I can’t find the words to tell you how I feel

12. All who come bring him things
Some say he will be a king
And it occurs to me that he just might be

13. So sleep my son, till its time to wake
Angels watch, watch for heavens sake

14. So sleep my son, till its time to wake
Angels watch, watch for heavens sake

15. Sleep my son
