WISE MEN'S SONG









WE CAME FROM OUR HOMELAND IN THE EAST


STARGAZERS AND PRIESTS AS WE WERE KNOWN BACK THERE


TO SEEK OUT THE CHILD BORN TO BE KING OF THE JEWS


FOR WE HAD OBSERVED HIS STAR RISING IN THE SKY.


HAD TRAVELLED MANY WEARY MILES TO WORSHIP HIM


FOR WE WERE WELL VERSED IN PROPHECIES AND SIGNS


WELL STUDIED, RESEARCHERS, INTERPRETERS’ OF DREAMS


WE ENTERED JERUSALEM IN OUR CAMEL CARAVAN


CREATING A RIGHT STIR AND COMMOTION


PEOPLE PUSHING AND GAWKING TO SEE US PERSIANS


WITH OUR LINES OF SERVANTS AND ARMED GUARDS.





WHEN KING HEROD HEARD OUR WORDS, HE WAS SHAKEN TO THE CORE.


WHAT SHOOTING STAR? WHAT NEW KING?


HE ENQUIRED WITH DEADLY CALM


WANTING TO KNOW THE EXACT TIME THE STAR HAD APPEARED.


HIS OWN JEWISH PRIESTS CAME UP TRUMPS


WITH A PROPHECY ABOUT THE MESSIAH


POINTING THE WAY TO BETHLEHEM


WHERE THIS SHEPHERD-KING WOULD EMERGE.


WE WERE QUICK TO LEAVE HEROD’S COMPANY


TO JOURNEY OUT AFRESH, WHEN SUDDENLY THE STAR


WE’D SEEN IN THE EAST REAPPEARED


LEADING US DIRECTLY TO THE EXACT PLACE


WHERE THE CHILD WOULD BE.


WE WERE SHOUTING AND HALLOOING


TEARS FLOWING, PUNCHING THE AIR WITH JOY.





WHEN WE GLIMPSED THE YOUNG CHILD


WITH HIS MOTHER, MARY, WE FELL TO OUR KNEES


OVERCOME WITH AWE AT THIS DIVINE  KING


WORSHIP SPILLING FROM OUR LIPS.


OUR DESTINY DAY, OUR MISSION ACHIEVED


WE WERE CHANGED FOREVER.


OPENING OUR TREASURE BOXES, WE GAVE HIM GOLD IN ABUNDANCE


MYRRH AND FRANKINCENSE, FITTING GIFTS FOR THIS PRINCE OF
PEACE.
