Christmas Journey: Journey to Bethlehem: Part 1

Angels on Journey
Holy Angels on Journey
Along with Eastern wise men
Angels on Journey
Journey to Bethlehem
Their life quest

Angels on Journey
Holy Angels on Journey
Along with Holy Family
Angels on Journey
Journey to Bethlehem
On their life mission

Wise men on a journey
Journey towards west
Leading star western course
Treading men from Eastern land
Shining stars on the way
Twinkling stars brilliant sway
Hope on the quest
Hope on the way
Wise men on the way
The way to Bethlehem
Unknown to their knowledge
They wandered in wonder
Along the wonder star

They climbed mountains
The mountains rejoiced
They crossed valleys
The valleys in joy
They tread across the deserts
The deserts bloomed
They crossed the rivers
They mighty rivers rejoiced
They traveled through forests
The nature rejoiced
They crossed many seasons
facing many challenges
Yet kept their eyes on the stars
They journey towards west
Following the wonder star shining
In the western sky

They knew not the destiny
But knew the stars
They knew not the reason
But they knew the king
They knew not the direction
But they studied the stars
They knew not the journey
Yet had hope in heart
They knew not the savior
But they had zeal in the heart
They knew not the results
Yet tread along the path
In the quest of Star
Wise men on journey

They crossed many lands
Where they knew not the language
They passed many hills
Where hidden dangers were present
They drank from many wells
They made sync with the nature
as a guide on the journey
They faced rivals
They survived sudden attacks
They escaped from the snares of enimies
They survived many thieves all along the way
Yet they travel on zeal
Looking at the star
Journey towards the west
Wise men on journey
Angels watching their ways
Wonder star leading their way
