** Original Scripture (WEB): Matthew 2:1-12

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying,

"Where is he who is born King of the Jews? For we saw his star in the east and have come to worship him."

When King Herod heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he asked them where the Christ would be born.

They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is written through the prophet,

'You Bethlehem, land of Judah,
are in no way least among the princes of Judah,
for out of you shall come a governor
who shall shepherd my people, Israel.'"

Then Herod secretly called the wise men and learned from them exactly what time the star appeared.

He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him."

They, having heard the king, went their way; and behold, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was.

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

They came into the house and saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Opening their treasures, they offered to him gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.

Lyrics: "The Star in the East Blues"

(Verse 1)
In the land of Judah, a child was born,
In Bethlehem town, on a cold, quiet morn.
Wise men came from the east, traveling far,
Said, "We've seen His light, it's the King's bright star."

(Chorus)
Oh, the star in the east, shining so high,
Guiding the way through the midnight sky.
We've come to worship, to bow and sing,
Before the child, the newborn King.

(Verse 2)
King Herod heard it, troubled in his throne,
"Where is this child? I must make it known!"
He called the scribes, and they all said,
"In Bethlehem town, just as the prophets read."

(Chorus)
Oh, the star in the east, shining so high,
Guiding the way through the midnight sky.
We've come to worship, to bow and sing,
Before the child, the newborn King.

(Bridge)
Herod whispered, "Find Him for me,
Tell me where, so I can see.
But his heart was dark, filled with deceit,
The wise men knew, they couldn't repeat."

(Verse 3)
The star led them to where He lay,
With gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh that day.
They bowed in worship, their hearts in awe,
For they knew they stood before Heaven's law.

(Chorus)
Oh, the star in the east, shining so high,
Guiding the way through the midnight sky.
We've come to worship, to bow and sing,
Before the child, the newborn King.

(Outro)
So follow the star, let it lead your soul,
Through the darkness, to make you whole.
In Bethlehem's light, where hope begins,
The King has come to forgive our sins.
