Astrologers, Foreigners

Astrologers, foreigners
followers of other God
coming into the royal court
looking for the Lord

Wondering where the Christ-child was
following his birth-star
coming to bow down
before the God of all

All of Jerusalem trouble
from Herod on down
wondering what this could means
the Messiah come down
