| Joseph! | Pose as a muscly man - flex both biceps! |
| You don't need to be afraid. | Wag both forefingers left to right repeatedly |
| Joseph! | Muscly Man |
| You just need to trust the Lord. | Point with both forefingers to sky, starting at shoulder level and raising hands with the beat |
| Mary! | Rest your head in your hands with palms upwards making a V shape, one hand on either side of your head (smile and gaze heavenwards) |
| Don't you leave her, she's the one. | Wag forefingers again |
| Mary! | Rest head in hands |
| Is going to have a baby son. | Rock an imaginary baby in your hands. |
| And you're going to give him | Sweep one hand out from left to right in a 'giving' motion. |
| a name that's great. | Both thumbs up, pulsing to the beat |
| It'll be a name | Draw the outline of an imaginary banner in the air, both hands starting in front of face, then moving outwards, palms out, thumb down, forefinger up... |
| that they never forget | ... so that by the end of this you've drawn a long rectangle in front of you |
| A name that means that he will | Arms outstretched to sides, hands level with waist, palms facing forwards... |
| save his people from their sins! | ... raise hands until arms become a cross at the end of the line |
| Call him Jesus - J-E-S-U-S | Punch air above hear twice on 'Je-sus', then point to imaginary letters spelling out J-E-S-U-S |
| A name to treasure above the rest | Shake hands in front of you, starting on either side of head and then reaching up to sky |
| Jesus - J-E-S-U-S | Punch etc |
| A baby boy who's going to be the best | Rock imaginary baby |
| Jesus - J-E-S-U-S | Punch etc |
| Joseph | Muscly Man |
| call him | Draw imaginary banner |
| Jesus! | Punch air |
| Joseph! | Muscly Man |
| There's a census, don't you know? | Write with one hand on the other as if filling in big form |
| Joseph, | Muscly Man |
| Off to Bethlehem you go. | March |
| Mary: | Rest head in hands |
| The Inn is full but there's a shed. | Cross arms to the right (full inn) then point to the left (shed) |
| Mary: | Rest head in hands |
| A manger for your baby's bed. | Rock imaginary baby |
