Story behind the song
Written for Christmas at Gram's, an Advent Story. A song for the three wise men, or kings, who came to visit Jesus, bearing gifts.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
O Balthasar, I'm telling you
I've never seen a star
Like the one that's in the star tonight
You can see it from afar.
I'm sure that it marks the birth
Of some important king.
We should follow it and go to Him.
Here's a gift that I should bring.
Chorus:
Let me be the one to cast my crown at Jesus feet.
The King of kings I've waited
My whole life to meet.
I have a chest of finest gold
That I will want to bring
To show the world that Jesus
Is fit to be a king.
Verse 2:
Oh, Gaspar, I saw the star
That you are speaking of.
And friend, though I'm correcting you
I'm doing it in love.
That Hebrew king named David said
That He would be a priest
Who would make a full atonement for
The Greatest and the Least.
Chorus:
Let me be the one to cast my crown before the One
Who has been a Priest forever
Since before time had begun.
I have a flask of frankincense, and when we leave, it goes.
It will show the world that He's a priest
Acquainted with our woes.
Verse 3:
Oh, Melchior, I'm sorry,
but with you I disagree.
I read that He's a prophet
Who will die to set us free.
Isaiah said that He'd be bruised
And with His stripes, we're healed.
I also have a gift to bring
To the One the star revealed.
Chorus:
Let me be the one to cast my crown before the Lord
The Mighty God who made it all
With His own spoken Word
I have a cask of myrrh
That can be used to bury Him
It will show the world that He will die
To save us from our sin.
Verse 4:
Well, down through the years
From every nation, tribe, and tongue.
People have been coming
To bring gifts to God's Own Son
And one fine day in heaven,
We will all have crowns to bring
To cast before the feet of this one
Prophet, Priest, and King.
Chorus:
Let me be the one to cast my crown at Jesus' feet
On that day, not so far away,
When He and I will meet.
The only gift I have to bring
Is a life lived for Him
It will show the world that He is mine
And I belong to Him.
(repeat chorus)
