Tenth Avenue North, featuring Britt Nicole, performs a contemporary rendition of the classic Christmas carol "We Three Kings." The song retells the journey of the Magi following the star to Bethlehem, presenting gifts to the newborn King. It emphasizes the kings' recognition of Jesus as both King and Sacrifice, and the chorus repeatedly asks for guidance to the "perfect Light," symbolizing Christ. The added refrain "Let your light shine" encourages believers to reflect that light. The song blends traditional verses with a modern, worshipful bridge, focusing on the theme of seeking and receiving divine light and guidance.

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I'll bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign
O star of wonder, star of night
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
Alleluia, alleluia
Sounds through the earth and skies
O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect Light
I'm gonna need, gonna need some perfect Light
I'm gonna need, gonna need some perfect Light
I'm gonna need it
Let your light shine, let your light
Let your light shine, let your light
Let your light shine, let your light
Let your light shine, let your light
Let your light shine, let your light
Let your light shine, let your light
Come on, guide us to thy perfect Light
Come on, guide us to thy perfect Light
We're all gonna need, gonna need some perfect Light
Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect Light (C'mon)
Guide us to thy perfect Light
Oh, Guide us to thy perfect Light
So let your light shine, let your light
Let your light shine, let your light
