Come follow me as shepherds and wise men Who followed without hesitation. They gazed at the star in wonder and awe At the divine invitation. Come as you are to the table of grace                   Where forgiveness and joy are provided.                   Before heaven’s time, the plan was in place To redeem the lost souls and misguided. Come follow me to the whispering sea; Hear my thoughts that outnumber the sand. Believe me, your Savior, the gift of the heart, Delivered by God’s Holy hands. “Today in the town of David a Savior
