Lyrics
VERSE 1
I've come to see the king
I've come to see the newborn king
Show me where you've laid his precious head
I've come to lay these gifts beside his bed
VERSE 2
The King star rose in the night
That which we've searched for all our lives
It burned so bright it dimmed the other stars that shown
The greatest king who's ever lived will soon take his throne
CHORUS
My King and my God I saw it in the sky
I left my life to worship at his side
The miles were not kind
But it's worth every step to see the face that brings us life Show me to the child
VERSE 3
My traveling companions and I
From many peoples who read the sky
We've all drawn the same conclusion This cannot be illusion
The time has come for Him to arrive
BRIDGE
Gold for a King Frankincense for a priest
Myrrh for one who must die to usher in our new life
VERSE 4
We must take a new road home
A messenger in dream came to me
Said a mad king fearing for his legacy
Has launched a plan that will fail
He will kill every newborn male
But I know who will prevail
