Jesus’
life, the fulfillment, the prophecy of old
Christ’s
life, his ministry, his burial in the tomb
woven
into these three gifts of the wise men
the
gold, frankincense, and myrrh they brought Him
The
king, the priest, the martyr on the cross
the
light, the one foretold, the Messiah who came
living
humbly, teaching another way, dying for our sins
The
word, the living, the risen Lord
shoot
of Jesse, carpenter’s son, God incarnate
at
the beginning, Emmanuel, judge at his return
The
bread, the lamb, the way, light for our journey,
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 manger bed
