A couple of years ago, with thoughts of the Christmas story come alive again, I got thinking about that first Christmas from the perspective of the wise men.

Lyrics

Well a long time ago, in a land so far away
There were men of wealth; of heralded decree
They studied the stars, for great events upon the earth
And when they saw that star, they were heard to say

I'm going to, follow that star, wherever it may go
I'm going to, follow that star, there's just such a heavenly glow
I'm going to, follow that star, this king I've got to see
I'm going to follow, follow that 'ol star

They said a king was born, it heralded His birth
They had to saddle up, and chase that wandering star
They knew they'd, find that king, if they travelled on
It was written in the stars they had to follow that star

They had to, follow that star, wherever it went
They had to, follow that star, there's just such a heavenly glow
They had to, follow that star, this king I've got to see
They had to follow, follow that 'ol star

Many called them wise, but they had a need to know
So on their way they went, 'cause they were heaven sent
When they found that holy child, on humble knees they went
When that star stood still, they were heard to say

We had to, follow this star, wherever it went
We had to, follow this star, we just knew that we were sent
We had to, follow this star, this king I've got to see
We had to follow, follow that 'ol star

Many folks today, don't believe in that star
When I say its true, they say "Now you're going too far"
But I will recount, this story strong and true
Until the Lord returns, I'll be heard to say

I'm going to, follow that star, wherever it may go
I'm going to, follow that star, there's just such a heavenly glow
I'm going to, follow that star, this king I've got to see
I'm going to follow, follow that 'ol star

I'm going to, follow this King, wherever He may go
I'm going to, follow this King, for I know He loves me so
I'm going to, follow this King, for He gave His life for me
I'm going to follow, follow this King of kings
I'm going to follow, follow this King of kings
