Of Kings and Wise Men
©2005 Susan Noyes Anderson
Listen to the wind, the strains of an ancient song
are winging through the air.
Look into the sky, a sky lit with mystery...
a Star that is beckoning there.
O Star, will you beckon me there?
Look into the hearts of men who have lost their way,
who know not their purpose on earth.
Listen to the cry of wise men who watch and pray:
“The Star is a a sign of His birth."
“O, the Star is a sign of His birth."
Can you hear the song of angels around you?
Will you see the Babe, a gift from up above?
Will you sing the song, a song born in Bethlehem...
the song of redeeming love?
O, the song of redeeming love.
Find him in the wind...the sky;
your heart will sigh, “Jesus is born for me.”
Whether love is near or far...Follow His star.
Wise ones have eyes to see.
Hear the angels sing Noel and Alleluia.
May all voices ring with wonder and delight.
May we ever bring the gift of a broken heart
to the Babe born that glorious night...
to the Babe born that glorious night.
Listen to the wind, the strains of an ancient song
are winging through the air.
Look into the sky, a sky lit with mystery...
a Star that is beckoning there.
O Star, will you beckon me there?

ReplyDeleteI love the story of these three wise men. . .they had amazing faith even though they didn't have all the story, yet!
Your beautiful words and pictures turned a light bulb moment on in my head.
ReplyDeleteLet your light so shine before me that they more glorify your Father which is in heaven.
We are those lights. And if we shine with brightness...we can lead others to Christ.
We are the stars in everyday life.
You are a star Sue. Keep shining brightly.

So many voiced my wish that I could hear the music to these beautiful lyrics. You outdid yourself on these, Sue. You have reason to be very proud. Of course I loved it, but I want to hear the whole song. Is there any way this is possible? Where can we get the music?
