The Baby Born to be King (Song of the Magi)

We have spent our lives in search of wisdom, to tease the answers out
But the more we learn, the less we think we know; we feed the roots of doubt
Such uncertainty is just a curse, and shrinks the seeking soul
We long to find a King who opens wisdom up to love to make us whole

(Chorus 1)
So we've found the baby born to be King
And we owe Him every sacrifice that we can bring
Hallelujahs just come naturally now we've seen
This infant royalty
Yes, He's the baby, He's the baby born to be King

We have studied long the ways of power, and how to govern well
When the boundaries are weak, and freedom rages, the people will rebel
When the hand of power is too strong, our dreams don't stand a chance
The King of kings will bring these into balance, as Love and Power dance

(Chorus 2)
'Cause He's the baby born to be King
All of heaven tells us He's the One we're looking for
Though we never thought the King of kings would look so poor
The stars have made us sure
That He's the baby, He's the baby born to be King

(Bridge)
Everywhere we go, we witness poverty and pain
Though hue and tongue may differ, fears and struggles are the same
We sleep and rise, and work and die
And hope that by the Hand divine
Love means that we sorrow not in vain

(Full Chorus)
For He's the baby born to be King
And we owe Him every sacrifice that we can bring
Hallelujahs just come naturally now we've seen
This infant royalty
Yes, He's the baby born to be King
All of heaven tells us He's the One we're looking for
Though we never thought the King of kings would look so poor
The stars have made us sure
That He's the baby, He's the baby born to be King
