As Judah slept, wise men were stirred,
Deep in the heart, Grace was conferred-
As complacency ruled the day,
A young coupled searched for a place to stay -
As night drew near,
A light beckoned-
And great Magi so too did reckon,
And traverse, to a place of their dreams-
For a star to them did call,
And they left everything, these pagan men-
Who had followed their own way up until then,
For they knew and recognized the call from Salem-
They followed that star by day and by night,
Not knowing for sure if they indeed were right-
But they followed in haste, to meet a great King,
And the treasure they brought, was an ushering-
An unfolding of a harrowing tale,
That began in times before the moon, sun and gale -
Of a love most pure and true and deep,
Of a mountain to climb, for some too steep -
And awakening now, to open that story -
Foreigners came to unveil His great glory,
They followed a Star that led them to Heaven -
To a unity called to be with all brethren,
For Christ comes each day, if only we seek -
His message is not for the frail or the weak,
He calls us each to this same glory -
If we choose to make Him our own very story,
So awake, awake and meet this new dawn,
For soon, our chances will all but be gone -
The star that beckons us to Him and the way -
Can be found in only the time that we pray
So we can journey and follow Him day by day, by day
