Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh – v5

Christ, our brother, our shepherd, our life

The life, the fulfillment, the prophecy of old

his life, his ministry, his burial in the tomb

woven into the gifts, the three, the wise men

the gold, frankincense, and myrrh at his bed

the king, the priest, the martyr on the cross

living humbly, teaching another way, dying for our sins

The word, the living God, our Risen Lord

shoot of Jesse, the carpenter’s son, God incarnate

at the beginning, Emmanuel, judge at his return

The bread, the lamb, the way to God

To him, for him, for us all throughout time

was given, the gold, the frankincense, and myrrh

by the wise men, traveling from the east, to his bed
