Bethlehem's Treasure
Bob Fitts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lord our lives we share
Celebrate, heavens above
Glad tidings to bear
Father's gift of love come down
Sacrifice beyond all measure
Heavenly hosts proclaim this sound
Bethlehem's Treasure
Many kings from afar
Seek the shining star
On our knees, in our hearts
We cry Lord of lords You are
Riches untold, frankincense and gold
They pale before the glory we behold
The lyrics of Bob Fitts's song Bethlehem's Treasure evoke feelings of reverence and gratitude towards God, as well as a sense of wonder and awe at the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. The first two lines, "Gifts of praise, songs of love, Lord our lives we share," express the idea that our lives are an offering of thanksgiving to God, and that we express that thanksgiving through songs of praise. The next two lines emphasize the joy and celebration that the birth of Jesus brings to the world, with "Celebrate, heavens above, Glad tidings to bear."
The next lines describe the nature of God's gift to humanity through the birth of Jesus, which is described as a "Father's gift of love come down" and a "Sacrifice beyond all measure." The heavenly hosts are said to proclaim this wondrous event with the invitation to "Come and see the Infant King, Bethlehem's Treasure." The final verse describes the reaction of the kings from afar, who bow in worship before the Christ child, acknowledging him as "Lord of lords," while recognizing that earthly treasures such as frankincense and gold pale before the glory of the child they have come to worship.
Overall, Bethlehem's Treasure is a song that celebrates the love of God and the birth of Jesus Christ as the ultimate expression of that love. The lyrics encourage us to join in the celebration of that love and to offer our lives in gratitude and praise to God.
