Christ’s
life, the one fulfillment, Your prophecy of old
His
life, His ministry, His burial in the tomb
woven
into the gifts, the Magi, the wise men
the
gold, frankincense, and myrrh they brought Him
The
King, the Priest, and the Sacrifice on the cross
the
Light, the One foretold, the Messiah who came
to
raise us from the dust, this earth, up to heaven
living
humbly, teaching another way, dying for our sins
The
Word, the Living, the Risen Lord
at
the beginning, Emmanuel, judge at His return
shoot
of Jesse, carpenter’s son, God incarnate
so
You are, so You will always be, from the beginning
The
Bread, the Lamb, the narrow Way
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
