When
Jesus was born in
Bethlehem, the
Magi rode into
Jerusalem.
Tired from their journey, dusty and dry, well,
they fol lowed the star in the eastern sky.
Followed the star in the eastern sky
Well they went to
King
Herod and they told him the news
That star marks the birth of the
King of the
Jews
Show us the place for far we have come
And we want to worship
God's newborn son
We want to worship
God's newborn son
Here it gathered the teachers
and the priests for advice
Where will this happen,
this birth of the
Christ?
They said, up in
Judea, as it was foretold
By the prophet called
Micah in the days of old
The prophet called
Micah in the days of old
Well,
Myrtle
Mouth,
Magi, there's a new king to see
When you find him, said
Herod, report back to me
For I wish to worship this king if I can
But
King
Herod was hatching a deadly plan
Herod was hatching a deadly plan
Magi followed the star and
they were filled with joy
When they found
Mary and her precious boy
They bowed down right there
and they worshipped the
Christ
Laying treasures of gold and
precious spice
Treasures of gold and
precious spice
Well, those wise men called
Magi were warned in a dream
Of evil
King
Herod's murderous scheme
They found that
Messiah
God is great, high priest
So they hitched up and rode
back towards the east
Hitched up and rode back
towards the east
Those
Magi were wise and one thing is true
If you want to be wise, you will seek
Him too
If you want to be wise, you'll seek
Jesus
And you'll seek
Him too
You
