High in the night
Shining like a pearl
The supernatural beacon beckoned all the world
Some looked in awe
And then went on their way
A few men listened, and the star was heard to say:
“In the place to which I will lead you
A baby has been born
He will change the fate of nations
He will wear a crown of thorns
And of all who will bow or bend their knee to him
You few will be
The first ones to bear witness to the king”
Long lonely miles
Past cities strong and walled
The seekers after knowledge went where they were called
To a humble home
Where the star came to rest
They gave him gifts of gold and myrhh and frankincense
In Judea’s town of Bethlehem
They saw with their own eyes
The one from whom
A mighty christian kingdom would arise
And of all who will bow or bend their knee to him
These few will be
The first ones to bear witness to the king
Arthur the doubter breaks the God barrier on TP! Who would think I would be the first. This is from my song cycle “The Church Year,” written in 1986.
Ewww, religion.
That was only lies. ‘S good. Made in a good year too, I see.
It’s not religion. It’s A Priori Pie… ;)
