We Cannot Find Our Way

This forgotten carol of the Three Kings has always been a favorite of mine. Yes, I'm sure that there are times in my life when I've personally felt lost and needed help in finding my way through the fog and twilight of life's troubles. And I have found that help by way of the Heavenly guidance of my Savior, the bright Star of Bethlehem. But I think my love for this song has more to do with the gradual crescendo of the chorus, "I cannot find my way... we cannot find our way... we're not alone... three kings found the Lord, and so can we..." This crescendo reminds me that I am not the only one who is looking Heavenward toward that bright star. And there are many other wise men and women who are journeying alongside me as we follow that star wherever it leads us. And then I love how that gradually growing chorus culminates in the unified, collective shout of prayer, "Lord, help us find the way back home!" This reminds me that we all know exactly who that guiding star represents.

On this most sacred night on the eve of our Savior's birth, I share my personal testimony that Jesus Christ, the Holy Babe, the Son of God, and the Lord of All can and will be the Star of Bethlehem who will help us find our way through the twisting and winding paths of life. His light shines bright today, and it will shine eternally. I pray that you will feel the warmth and brightness of that light in your hearts and in your lives. And I pray that you will embrace and welcome that light into your lives, not just on this night of nights but all throughout the coming year and throughout your entire life as you look to the Star and follow it's Heavenly glow back to our Heavenly Home.

Merry Christmas and God Bless!

Somewhere beneath the glitter that comes this time of winter 

In many souls there is a cry.

They may not clearly say it, but in their hearts they pray it, 

And you can see it in their eyes.

'I cannot find my way, I cannot find my way, I cannot find my way at all. 

There are so many voices, so many different choices, I cannot find my way at all.' 

There were three kings who followed the star of Bethlehem. 

They came from afar to praise and honor Him. 

His light which beckoned them to see The Lord of Man 

It calls to you, It calls to me. 

'We cannot find our way, we cannot find our way, we cannot find our way at all. 

There are so many voices, so many different choices, we cannot find our way at all.' 

We're not alone; we have a star, and it shines today. 

The love that He gave teaches how and shows the way. 

That light, it's clear to see if we have faith and believe. 

Three kings found the Lord, and so can we. 

And if you've lost your way, that light burns bright today, 

and it will shine eternally 

Three kings found the Lord, and so can we .

'Lord help us find the way, we need to find the way, 

Lord help us find the way back home' 

Three kings found the Lord, and so can we.
