| Joseph and Mary, they were gonna have a baby An angel shared with them just who their son would be Yes He will take men to heaven When the prophecy's complete Chorus: Following an eastern star Magi came from quite afar They brought him gifts: myrrh, gold, frankincense Just enough for the Son of Man For what He gives, no one else can, God's love for man, this shows it is immense On their way to see the child, the Magi had talked to Herod They didn't know it but this meant sure death in cold blood A dream warned all of these wise men: not to see Herod again [chorus] The Magi were no-shows, Herod absolutely flipped Joseph, Mary, and Jesus went down to Egypt But those poor boys in Bethlehem, Herod had them all done in [chorus] One day down in Egypt, Angels told of Herod's death So Joseph packed up and headed for Nazareth And as the prophets had forseen Jesus would be Nazarene [chorus] | |||
