Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh – v9

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
