He's the Baby in the Manger 
The Child at Mary's breast 
The little Boy on Joseph's knee 
Firstborn, to the rest. 

He's the pre-Teen in the Temple 
He's the Shepherd in the Lea 
He's the local Gifted Carpenter 
Who sat, on Joseph's knee. 

He's the Friend of the Fishermen 
He's the Man of Galilee 
He's the One who walked on Water 
Who sat, on Joseph's knee. 

He's the Rabbi who readily forgave 
The one who was caught in adultery 
He's the One who freed the woman at the well 
Who sat, on Joseph's knee. 

He's the Son who turned water into Wine 
At His precious Mother's plea 
He's the One, who entrusted her to John 
Who sat, on Joseph's knee. 

He's the Teacher who spoke with Power 
And who challenged the Pharisees 
He's the One the Saducees debated 
Who sat, on Joseph's knee. 

He's the Physician who showed compassion 
Whose hands healed so liberally 
He's still the One who makes man whole 
Who sat, on Joseph's knee. 

He's the LORD of all Creation 
Who bled from His Own Tree 
He's the GOD of our Salvation, 
Who sat, on Joseph's knee. 

At Christmas, let us remember 
Truly.. Who was He: 
The Incarnate Son of GOD! 
Who sat, on Joseph's knee.
