V1:
In a tiny cattle stable, on a manager made of hay
The star was shining brightly, over where the Savior lay
Though all of Heavens' angels, whispered tiding of great joy
To those who gathered round, he seemed like, just a baby boy
Chorus:
Even then He was king
Master and maker of everything
Bound for a cross, to gather the lost
Into His arms again
He was king, even then
V2:
It's wasn't long til Wiseman, heard the news of Him
Leaving their own countries, they made their way to Bethlehem
They brought their greatest treasures, and laid them at His side
Then fell down and worshipped Him, they must have recognized
Repeat Chorus
