The Magi
[Verse 1]
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem
The Magi rode in to Jerusalem
Tired from their, dusty and dry
Well they followed the star in the eastern sky
Followed the star in the eastern sky

[Verse 2]
Well, they went to King Herod and they told him the news
"That star marks the birth of the King of the Jews
Show us the place, for far we have come
And we want to worship God's newborn son
We want to worship God's newborn son"

[Verse 3]
Herod gathered the teachers and the priests for advice
"Where will this happen, this birth of the Christ?"
They said "Up in Judea, as it was foretold
By the prophet called Micah in the days of old
Prophet called Micah in the days of old"

[Verse 4]
Well, move 'em out Magi, there's a new king to see
"When you find him," said Herod, "Report back to me
For I wish to worship this king if I can"
But King Herod was hatching a deadly plan
Herod was hatching a deadly plan
[Verse 5]
Magi followed the star and they were filled with joy
When they found Mary and her precious boy
They bowed down right there and they worshipped the Christ
Laying treasures of gold and precious spice
Treasures of gold and precious spice

[Verse 6]
Well those wise men called Magi were warned in a dream
Of evil King Herod's murderous scheme
They'd found the Messiah, God's Great High Priest
So they hitched up, and rode back towards the east
Hitched up, and rode back towards the east

[Outro]
Those Magi were wise and one thing is true...
(Hoo-hey-hah, hoo-hey-hah)
If you want to be wise, you will seek Him too
If you want to be wise, you'll seek Jesus...
You'll seek him too
