Geoffrey Woo is a singer/composer, and has been in the music ministry for 28 years. He received this calling while he was an Engineering student in Melbourne, Australia. Upon completion of his studies, he returned to Malaysia and stepped out into the ministry and has been living by faith all these years. This is the special aspect of his ministry, to be evidence of God's ability to provide supernaturally. Geoffrey has released 6 albums and 3 singles. The 5th album, REPRISE, is a retrospective album culled from his previous work. It is also a commemoration of 25 years of song-writing. Two of his singles have received radio air-play in Singapore, namely, JUST ONE LIFE Pt.II and MORE THAN LIFE. The former was released as a tribute to the late Mother Teresa. The third single JUST WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS OVER, has literally traveled around the world, having been selected for the onboard programming on Singapore Airlines flights for one month. The latest and 6th album, GEOGENY, means the creation of the earth and reflects the new musical direction Geoffrey has embarked upon, including cutting his name short to just Geo. Throughout his ministry, Geo has ministered in churches around Malaysia and Singapore, and has toured Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane and Sydney in Australia, Auckland in New Zealand, MetroManila in the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Jakarta and Bali in Indonesia.

Story behind the song
The story is about a little boy in China who follows the Wisemen to Israel to see the Christ child. This story assumes the Wisemen were from China, which is not impossible as it took them about 2 years to reach Bethlehem from the time they first saw the star. The boy wants to give the most precious item in his possession to baby Jesus. A seal with a lion carving, made of pure gold, left to him by his dead parents.
Lyrics
Look at that star shining so bright Beckoning me into the night What can I give? What could I bring for a king? I do not have riches untold Only this small seal made of gold What can I give to someone who has everything? It's the one thing I possess That is precious in my heart It holds memories of love Dear to me now we're apart I'll follow your star no matter how far And soon I will discover where you are And keeping to that trail I know I cannot fail I'll find you still Following your star I have been told this child of love Bringer of peace, come from above One day he'll rule and I will make him my king Just like that star he will bring light And he will make everything right Someday, I know, he will be my Everything So I'll give this up for him What is precious in my heart Well, my lion of gold Now is the time we must part
