Lyrics

(Introduction for 5 measures)

(Verse 1)
We are all just travelers on this journey called life;
Some walk in darkness, while others follow a light.
We carry our treasures so close to our heart;
Some we let go of while others never part.
And somewhere on this journey we encounter a King
That will change us forever, to Him our treasures bring.

(Chorus)
And wisemen still seek Him, they follow a star
That leads them to Jesus as travelers a far.
Men of great nations and the poor of the earth
All join together to proclaim Christ's birth.

(Verse 2)
Sometimes we find ourselves with no room at the inn
Filled with hopes and dreams, none of them with Him.
Walk along a winding road, and can't find our way;
Look to the Heavens a star as bright as day.
And somehow He finds Himself in the hardest of hearts,
Whispers I love you, never more to part.

(Repeat Chorus)
And wisemen still seek Him, they follow a star
That leads them to Jesus as travelers a far.
Men of great nations and the poor of the earth
All join together to proclaim Christ's birth.

(Bridge)
Star of Bethlehem shine tonight
And lead us and guide us to His perfect light.
Oh come Lord Jesus, we ask Thee to stay
And renew our spirit on this Christmas day.

(Verse 3)
We are all just travelers on this journey called life;
Been through the darkness, and now we see the light.
We carry a treasure more precious than gold,
A gift of redemption, His grace we now hold.
And someday we'll find ourselves at the foot of the King
With all of God's angels, His praises we'll sing.

(Repeat Chorus)
And wisemen still seek Him, they follow a star
That leads them to Jesus as travelers a far.
Men of great nations and the poor of the earth
All join together to proclaim Christ's birth.

Wanda Bailey2012-11-24Beautiful song! I'd love to play this recording in our church Christmas play. Is there something I need to do to be able to use it? I think I've finally found the right song for the Wise men scene. Thank you and God bless you!
Lillie2012-10-30I was so grateful when I stumbled across this site back in 2006. I had been looking for something different to do with the children in Church that year rather than singing and performing the same familiar songs we do every year. This site was truly as blessing. And I couldn't believe everything was free. As a Sunday School, we performed the play but what really stood out were the songs. They were absolutely amazing!!! And the children still remember them to this day!!
2011-12-20Real life experience meets the real love of God in the Savior. This song gets to the guts of human feelings and longing for a life of meaning and purpose only found in the Savior Jesus. He came down and become one of us!

Scott2008-06-03I remember a house garage in Edmonton, Alberta....for on the garage door are the words "Wise Men Still Seek Him". I use that saying a lot.

So when I heard this song for the 1 time yesterday, I thought that's a good song, and would be good to use in my Christmas Light display this year.
