Wise Men

Wise men came to Jerusalem
They were asking in unison
Where is He born, King of the Jews?
For His star foretold the good news

And we have come to worship Him
But this troubled Herod the king
To Judea's town Bethlehem
They followed the star before them

And when they came into the house
They saw the Child with Joseph’s spouse
And they fell down and worshiped Him
Gold, frankincense, and myrrh gave Him

Jesus as Refugee

To Joseph an angel appeared,
In Egypt, safety is assured
Stay there until I bring you word
Herod wanted no children spared

So by night they left for Egypt
And stayed ‘til the death of Herod
Fulfilling prophecy begun,
“Out of Egypt I called My Son.”

When Herod saw the wise men flee
He went on a child murder spree
Fulfilling what the prophet said,
Lamentation through Ramah spread

When Herod died, an angel said
You can go back home, Herod’s dead
Fulfilling prophecy foreseen
“He shall be called a Nazarene.”

Matthew 2:13-23
