LYRICS
\nA star that bright
\nHad never been seen at night
\nLet alone, they say
\nDuring the day
\nAs if figurative
\n… or literal
\nLet it roll
\nEncompass all
\nTotal
\nThe brightest star
\nBy far
\nThe brightest star
\nAnd forever more
\nThe brightest tail
\nThe brightest tale
\nShinning down
\nTo the ground
\nShine on
\nHuman
\nGiven from heaven
\nTo the Earth
\nThe birth
\nYou are
\nThe brightest star<\/p>\n
ABOUT THE
\nThe Star of Bethlehem, or Christmas Star, appears only in the nativity story of the Gospel of Matthew, where “wise men from the East” are inspired by the star to travel to Jerusalem. “For we have seen His star in the East [or at its rising] and have come to worship Him.”<\/p>\n
There they meet King Herod of Judea, and tell him they are heading to Bethlehem to pay homage to the newborn king of the Jews. Herod calls his scribes and priests who confirm to him that a verse from the Book of Micah interpreted as a prophecy, states that the Jewish Messiah would be born in Bethlehem to the south of Jerusalem. Secretly intending to find and kill the Messiah in order to preserve his own kingship, Herod invites the wise men to return to him on their way home. <\/p>\n
