Lyrics

There was a (Am7)star in the (G)East ern sky shown (F)down on Beth (Am7)le hem.

A few had (Am7)rec og nized the sign

a (F)King was born to them.

It drew them to a man ger

to a (F)Vir gin Moth er’s Son

who would (F)draw us to sal va tion,

God’s (F5)gift to ev ’ry one.

And the (C)star still (C)shines af ter (F)all this time

as a (F)light for (C)me and you.

It (C)beck ons (C)us to seek Him.

(Am)Wise men still do,

(Am)wise men still do.

In these (Am7)cra zy, trou (G)bled times,

the world (F)seems so out of tune.

Some (F)times it’s like we’re liv

ing with out a (F)flame to light the room.

If you’re (Am)feel ing faith

less and you (F)think you’ve lost your way,

oh, there (F)is a hope that’s bright e nough

to (F)turn your night to day.

And the (C)star still (C)shines af ter (F)all this time as a (F)light for me and you.

It (C)beck ons (C)us to seek

Him.

(Am)Wise men still (C)do,

(Am)wise men still do.

It won’t (F)go out af ter Christ

mas like a (Dm7)can dle in the wind.

It’s a (F)light that shines for ev

er, not just ev ’ry now and (Gsus)then.

The (C)star still (C)shines af ter (F)all this time as a (F)light for me and you.

It (C)beck ons (C)us to seek

Him.

(Am)Wise men still do,

whoa, (Am)wise men still (C)do,

(Am)wise men still do.

The (G)star still (F)shines.
