about
"Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him." - Matthew 2:1-2
lyrics
Gold for this King, we magi bring
Incense for the priest, prayers released
See the prophecy is true, we give myrrh too
For a burial in stone before He takes His throne
Magi in their tower, break a royal seal,
On an ancient scroll, penned long ago
Prophecy of dreams, strange starlight gleams
Six hundred years or more before it was revealed
That a King's Star in the east would rise
Brightest of angels over Middle-earth skies
To reach the city of peace, it took 69 weeks
All wisdom they used, to find the King of the Jews
A false steward on the throne, gave the name of His home
Bethlehem though you're small, bring forth ruler of all
They followed the star, with treasure to bring
They came to a house, to worship a king
Gold for this King, we magi bring
Incense for the priest, prayers released
See the prophecy is true, we give myrrh too
For a burial in stone before He takes His throne
Incense for the priest, prayers released
See the prophecy is true, we give myrrh too
For a burial in stone before He takes His throne
Magi in their tower, break a royal seal,
On an ancient scroll, penned long ago
Prophecy of dreams, strange starlight gleams
Six hundred years or more before it was revealed
That a King's Star in the east would rise
Brightest of angels over Middle-earth skies
To reach the city of peace, it took 69 weeks
All wisdom they used, to find the King of the Jews
A false steward on the throne, gave the name of His home
Bethlehem though you're small, bring forth ruler of all
They followed the star, with treasure to bring
They came to a house, to worship a king
Gold for this King, we magi bring
Incense for the priest, prayers released
See the prophecy is true, we give myrrh too
For a burial in stone before He takes His throne
