A scandal echoed
throughout the town,
a maiden with child
"not wed," made the rounds.
Mary was betrothed
but not in despair.
The Holy Spirit had visited,
nothing else could compare.
Now Joseph was a man
who was known to be upright
thought to do the right thing
and dismiss her that night.
But an angel from God
came to visit in a dream.
"Take this woman to yourself,
no matter what it seems."
For this baby was conceived
by the Spirit of God ~
just like it was announced
fulfilling all the Prophets foretold.
Call Him~JESUS~
no other name will do
for He is ~EMMANUEL~(God with us)
Who came to save you!"

But after he (Joseph) had considered this,
an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
“Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife,
because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus
because he will save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:20-21
