Joseph's Question

from Heavenly Peace by Darlene Koldenhoven

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Heavenly Peace is the premier Holiday release by GRAMMY® Award-winning vocal artist, Darlene Koldenhoven, known worldwide as the featured blond soprano in Yanni Live at the Acropolis PBS-TV Special. Throughout this amazing collection of 10 very special songs, the lyrics touch upon the spiritual and emotional sides of all the characters involved in the Christmas Story, while the music and production reflect elements of world music, classical, and relaxing ambient woven together by her soaring, angelic, 5 octave vocal range. Seasonal, non-seasonal, and original pieces are included. Together they create a serene and joyful celebration of the birth of Christ, suitable for listening throughout the year. When she wasn't playing, programming, & arranging herself, as producer, Darlene called upon the talented skills of such artists as violinist Karen Briggs (also featured on the Yanni video), programmer Brad Cole (keyboardist with Phil Collins), film composer Ira Newborn (Ferris Bueller, Naked Gun, Manhattan Transfer) who played tabla and other middle-eastern instruments, oboist Earle Dumler (Frank Zappa & many hundreds of Los Angeles studio recordings), flutist Brice Martin, and with Doug Lenier (Smokey Robinson, Nancy Wilson) engineering. Vocalists on Angels We Have Heard on High in order from high to low: Darlene Koldenhoven, Machan Taylor, Yvonne Williams, Melissa Mackey, Clydene Jackson, Carmen Twillie. The CD comes in a jewel case with lyric/credits booklet.

lyrics

Joseph's Question

Joseph from the house of David
Was betrothed to Mary, fair
Fairest girl in all Judea
Not another could compare

Then he saw her ripe with child
Before they shared the marriage bed
Lord, what should I do, he asked
And Gabriel appeared and said

Do not be concerned
Give your fears a rest
Mary has been chosen
Mary has been blessed
Take her as your bride
There's no need for shame
When the babe is born
Blessed be His name

Joseph shook and Joseph trembled
Still he did as he was told
Faith made him a man of action
Faith and action made him bold


Music by Darlene Koldenhoven, Lyric by K.A. Parker
Joseph took his family
And left to face the great unknown
Knowing God would keep his promise
Knowing they were not alone

Do not be concerned
Give your fears a rest
Mary has been chosen
Mary has been blessed
Go to Bethlehem
Do as God commands
When the babe is born
You will understand

Came her time and they were weary
No where there to lay her head
Lord, what should I do, asked Joseph
Gabriel appeared and said

Do not be concerned
Give your fears a rest
Mary has been chosen
Mary has been blessed
Here's a bed of straw
Let your worries cease
When the babe is born
The world will know His peace
