6. In Your Eyes
On this quiet night…All I hear is your breath,
Come and go…Dreams keep me awake,
By starlight I wait…Think of troubled days again.
Here we go again…Here we go again.
And these troubled eyes…See your love again
Your lullaby will keep me the night…Your love will keep me this night
We’ve been…Chased by the wolves for our love they’ll prey
Chased through the forest by night…We’ve stood by the fireside,
yeah we’ve felt the burn…Turned the night into day.
You know what I’ll always say…Never leave my side
Another restless night…You awake with me,
Hurting eyes are full of tears...Rest your head, against my head
We’ll chase the world away…Electric candle light,
Will light the streets again…I’ll hold you close through all the night.
I know everything will work out in the end…Just believe with me
Here we go again…Here we go again.
7. Set Free
Like a candle in the darkness…Your voice came to me
You set my soul aflame…Let my blind heart see
Your love, surrounds me…Your hope fills me
I’m set free…With your love, It’s all I need
I’m set free…With your love, It’s all I need
You gave me light, gave direction…With your grace I could see
How everything leads to an answer…Every breath a gift from above
Your love, surrounds me…Your hope fills me
Your simple words forever changed me…Your voice came, my faith reborn
I see your love all around me…Your light forever guiding me
Your love, surrounds me…Your hope fills me
8. Light In Me
Fell so far, fell so fast…Descent into darkness
Oh how I wept…I walked these streets
So tired so beat…Wonder how I’d make it through the day
You saw the light in me…Like a distant dream, In a distant sky
Like one thousand glowing flames…My soul awake
All I have is now…All I have is you
I’d watch the night sky…Change to day
Watch the stars hover silently in place…I’d wonder what we’re living for
Wonder what had changed
Wonder why my life stood still as the world kept moving by

32. Matthew 2: 2-10
2 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King
Herod, Magi[a] from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is
the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it
rose and have come to worship him.”
3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with
him. 4 When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and
teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born.
5 “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has
written:
6 “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you will come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel.’[b]”
7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact
time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go
and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so
that I too may go and worship him.”
9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they
had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place
where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.
34. Herod the “not-so-great”
• "a madman who murdered his own family
and a great many innocent people"
•"the evil genius of the Judean nation"
•"prepared to commit any crime in order to
gratify his unbounded ambition"
•"the greatest builder in Jewish history”
45. Triple Conjunction Theory of The Star (for nerds)
• From May to December in the (approximate) year 7 BC
• Rare triple conjunction of the giant planets Jupiter and Saturn
occurred in the constellation of Pisces
• Jupiter and Saturn in maximum opposition to the Sun
• Jupiter and Saturn in possible occultation during cycle
• A normal conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn is called a “Great
Conjunction” because Jupiter and Saturn are the solar system’s
largest planets
• Great conjunctions occur approximately every 20 years
• Unique triple conjunction conditions of 7 BC is called a “Greatest
Conjunction”
• Greatest conjunctions are thought to occur approximately every
7000 years

48. But…..
•Why did they decide to
leave their observatory
and follow the “star” in
the first place?
•How did they know that
the destination was
Judea and not some
other location in the
ancient world?
50. - “Purim” in the Jewish month of Adar
- Adar corresponds to February/March
- February/March corresponds to Pisces
- Jupiter (planet of kings) in conjunction
with Saturn (planet of authority) in Pisces
Conclusion: A special king in Judea
58. Under Mountains
Prairie winds have found their way…North clouds, they will blow west
today
River banks wash the shores away…winding through natures found a way
We walk the frozen grounds…Love our troubles away
We can hear the trees, Hear loves way
Every ounce of hope, Joy to stay
I will let love rule…Every moment can be true
The moon, in its jealous sky…Will light our way so many nights
Don't want to leave this place, we can be free…In our soft embrace, we
connect the dots with the stars
This face I see like angels light…Have no fear of turning night
Count the stars, feels so right…Count or moments, we have tonight
In our beams of light, like spider webs…we weave our dreams, catch our
love
under snow capped mountains, we will shine our light.
I will hold you close, through the night…Nothings ever felt so right
When the snow begins to fall, In late October…Snow Capped mountains,
bring us home
I will hold you always closer…I will love you all the more, I will love you
all the more
