JJ Heller's 'Star of Wonder' is a reflective Christmas song that retells the journey of the Magi to see the newborn Messiah. The lyrics weave the classic carol 'We Three Kings' with a focus on the star's guidance and the gifts brought to Jesus. It also touches on the sorrow of Christ's death, but ultimately celebrates His resurrection and glory. The song invites listeners to follow the light of Christ, acknowledging Him as King, God, and sacrifice. With a gentle, contemplative tone, Heller emphasizes the wonder of the Incarnation and the hope found in Jesus.

There were kings of the orient
Bringing gifts to the child
Through the fields and deserts they came
Messiah was worth every mile
Star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Gold and frankincense, myrrh the perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrow, sighing, bleeding and dying
Sealed in the stone cold tomb
Star of wonder, star of light
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and sacrifice
Allelujah, Allelu
Sounds through the earth and the skies
