about

Three kings come from afar to follow a heavenly star and unwittingly set in motion a chain of events that will haunt them till their dying days.

lyrics

A star rose over the desert sky.
A sign that a new king was nigh.
They packed up their gifts and headed west
To find this babe whom God had blessed.
When Herod heard their tale,
His blood ran cold; his face went pale.
He ordered his men to slaughter the frail.

(Chorus)
So drink another cup of Christmas cheer
Gather up your loved ones and hold them dear
And think about the savior who was born that day
While the baby boys of Bethlehem were wiped away.

The soldiers came in the dead of night.
The mothers clutched their babies tight.
A stroke of a knife and it was done.
The mothers screamed; the blood did run.
But their deaths were in vain.
The day of the savior came.
And Herod fell to waste and pain.

(Chorus)

She lights a candle every night
Just like that star that burned so bright
To mourn the brother fate had clipped
Before his life could find its grip.
And as we savor the love
Bestowed by God above
Remember salvation is paid for in blood.

(Chorus X 2)
