By Jay Jordan. By Jay Jordan. Arranged by Jay Jordan. Christian,Folk,Pop,Singer/Songwriter. Score. 8 pages. Pro Creations Music #784050. Published by Pro Creations Music (A0.1184331).This original song was inspired by the Gospel story in which a 12 year old Jesus accompanies Mary and Joseph to Jerusalem for a required census. At some point on the return trip Joseph notices that Jesus is not among the traveling throng. Panicked, he returns to Jerusalem, only to find Jesus in the Temple, preaching to the elders. When he admonishes Jesus for causing him to worry Jesus replies "Did you not know that I would be in my father's house?" This story got me thinking about what it might have been like being Joseph, a kind of stepfather to Jesus. He must have experienced all the things a father goes through, caring for an infant, mentoring an adolescent, and finally, sending him on his way, hoping he's doing well. The Bible tells us little about these types of things regarding Joseph, and eventually, Joseph disappears from the narrative without any explanation. I also wondered what it must be like being a modern day man who is not the biological father of a boy that he has cared for since birth, and the true meaning of the terms "father" and "son.".
