Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle little star The Star of Bethlehem--that's what you are! Shepherds watching their sheep in the field Saw angels on high announcing Christ's birth The Messiah, Our Saviour--God's Only Begotten Son So they followed The Star to worship The Son Not only the shepherds--but The Three Wise Men--The Magi--from lands near and far From Asia, from Europe and from Africa said--"Let's find the long-awaited for Messiah!" And gifts of gold, frankincense and mhyrrh did they bring To The Christ Child, Our Saviour, The Baby King Twinkle, twinkle, little star I wonder where You are?! Said Herod--the evil king--to his sorcerers Where is The One--The Jewish people call their deliver?! The evil magicians replied--"We don't know but we know who does--The Three Wise Men-- and the sheperds in the field!" So just to be on the safe side--King Herod had all the male babies under two killed! When this didn't work--Herod called on The Three Wise Men For he wanted to commit another greivous sin! "Tell me--my dear men--where is The Deliverer?! Me and my sorcerers want to bring gifts to God's Son--lied king Herod--with an evil grin!" The Three Wise Men--knowing the king's evil intent Sent the king on a wild goose chase Meanwhile--Joseph--being warned in a dream--took his royal family to Egypt--on the run To protect The Messiah, Our Saviour--God's Only Begotten Son! So you see--my children--Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star--is not just a childhood story and children's rhyme It is the story of The Christ Child--The Greatest Story of all time!
