Keep Walking - h2o devos loc 122212

On freeways and biways in villages and town

On this 21th century road


We’ve traveled so far but still look for the star


Don’t you know it’s a heavy load

Hey Joseph Keep walking Hey Joseph keep walking


Hey Joseph Keep walking To Bethlehem


Hey Joseph Keep walking Hey Joseph keep walking


Keep walking Joseph you’re part of the plan

Hey Joseph  by Peter Mayer

You’ve heard the ever-present before “are you there yet?” Sometimes it is asked before one even rolls out of the driveway. “How much farther is it going to be?”

Peter artistically “paints” Joseph into the holiday scene. If there was ever a “stand-up guy” it had to be Joseph. Joseph goes along with the “plan.” Joseph follows and leads at the same time.

I really like the fact that God spoke to Joseph via a dream. Isn’t it interesting how and when God communicates to us along the way?

When Peter performs this song he often invites the congregation to join in on the refrain, “hey Joseph, Keep walking.” It is the words of the community exhorting Joseph and each one of us to keep walking.  We are proxies and stand-ins for God’s encouraging voice,

“keep walking, you’re part of the plan.”
