A friend rewrote We Three Kings…

“We three kings of Great Britain are,
Gazing up to see from afar,
From field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Looking up for a star.

(Oh…) Star of wonder, star of light,
Star of NASA, shining bright,
Eastward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us with thy perfect light.

Not a King from Bethlehem’s plain,
This is a space-ship, easy to explain,
Flies forever, ceasing never
Over us just like rain.

(Oh…) Star of wonder, star of light,
Star of NASA, shining bright,…

Frankincense, carried from the east,
A symbol of Jesus being a priest,
Born in a stable, so all men are able
To meet God, from greatest to least.

Star of wonder,…

Myrrh is sad, its bitter perfume,
Breath of life to blossoming gloom,
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
God sealed in the stone-cold tomb.

The story goes on with a pretty big claim,
Jesus came back, he woke up again,
He ate and he walked, relaxed and talked,
And he’ll speak to you just the same.

As we gaze back up at the star,
Remembering Jesus who came from afar,
A King as a baby, he’s somewhat crazy,
Came to meet us where we are.

Oh…. Star of wonder, star of light,
Star of Jesus, shining bright,
Eastward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us with thy perfect light.”
