A prophecy, a foretaste

A prophecy, a foretaste
A king, a sacrifice
descending to the dead
in the offering of the Magi
his life manifest

In Their Gifts His Journey

Knowing the meaning of the star
the prophecy, the Messiah
the king come into the world
But, more words,
that which was foretold

Prophecy on the role, the life of Christ
before he was even born
words, long before, of his ministry
his death, for our sin

In their gifts his journey
the steps of his holy life
the gold, frankincense and myrrh
three faces of the Christ
king and priest and sacrifice
all of this foretold
