Lyrics
Follow the star to a place unexpected
Invitation to follow the star to an unexpected place.
Would you believe, after all we've projected
Questioning belief despite past expectations.
A child in a manger?
Reference to a child in a humble manger.
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Describing the child as lowly, small, and the weakest.
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mother's shawl
Highlighting the unlikely hero wrapped in his mother's shawl.
Just a child
Emphasizing the child's innocence and vulnerability.
Is this who we've waited for?
Raising a question about whether this is the awaited figure.
'Cause how many kings step down from their thrones
Pondering the humility of kings stepping down from thrones.
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
Highlighting lords abandoning their homes for a greater purpose.
How many greats have become the least for me?
Reflecting on great figures becoming the least for a specific person.
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
Questioning the sacrifice of gods for a broken world.
To romance a world that is torn all apart?
Describing the divine act of pursuing a fractured world.
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Recognizing the sacrifice of fathers giving up their sons.
Bringing our gifts for the newborn Savior
Bringing gifts for the newborn Savior.
All that we have, whether costly or meek
Offering everything, whether valuable or humble, in belief.
Because we believe
Acting based on faith in the newborn Savior.
Gold for his honor, and frankincense for his pleasure
Specific gifts symbolizing honor, pleasure, and the future sacrifice.
And myrrh for the cross He will suffer
Connecting myrrh to the foretold suffering on the cross.
Do you believe?
Asking if the listener believes in this awaited figure.
Is this who we've waited for?
Repeating the question about the identity of the awaited one.
How many kings step down from their thrones?

How many lords have abandoned their homes?

How many fathers gave up their sons for me?
Recalling the sacrifice of fathers giving up their sons.
