Follow the Christmas Star

A great song by Michael Mangan for your next Christmas pageant. It is noticeable for the ability to get “gold, frankincense and myrrh” to scan! This is another of Michael’s songs available on Sing Your Joy. It is also available in the “This is the Time” collection that is available here and here (where there is a sample to listen to).

Verse 1

See the bright star shining in the sky,

Could this finally be the promised sign?

This may be the one, this may be the King,

This may be the Lord of Light of whom the prophets sing…

Chorus

And we follow the Christmas star as it leads us on our way,

Lighting up our journey of faith.

And we follow the Christmas star as it takes us to the place,

Where we will see our Saviour and God, face to face.

Verse 2

See the little baby lying there.

These gifts we bring: gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Gold for He is King, Frankincense for God,

Myrrh for He will give his life to save all on this earth…

Chorus

Verse 3

We must take this joy to everyone,

Spreading news of Jesus, God’s own Son.

We have seen his star telling of his birth.

He has come as Saviour to all nations of the earth…
