I love this song and I love James Taylor and Ricky Skaggs. Because Bethlehem is not being permitted to celebrate Christmas or have any Christmas lights I am determined to play this song and Beautiful Star of Bethlehem as often as I can this season and every Christmas thereafter-to be sure my family does not forget that God sent the star to show the Magi where to go and honor Jesus as "King of the Jews" Whether you are in Bethlehem or not ,keep Yeshua(Jesus) in your heart this day and every day.. God protect and bless Israel ,and the USA-Merry Christmas to all whose heart and mind are open to Jesus as Messiah, and Happy Birthday to our dear Lord and Savior Jesus Christ .

God never kicked anyone to hell and never will! The choice is yours .He loves you so much he chose to sacrifice his only Son so that you could Choose him as savior or Choose to go to hell.The new star is still shining and the invite is still there. Be certain by not accepting him you've made your choice!

The two of them sing the most beautiful song and I am super happy to be able to understand every word of it after the long journey that brought me to the US where I FINALLY learned what life and LOVE are about.

One year I searched far and wide for the CD this song was on. It wasn't on a Christmas CD. Finally found it at a little hole in the wall gas station that just happen to sell older CD's. They had 2 left and I bought both of them. One for me and the other for a friend. I'm not sure it was ever meant to be a Christmas song but it is my favorite.

They could sing the phonebook and it would still sound good. This was my late husband's favorite song to play at holiday season, video included. Song was written by John Hall from an 80's rock band whose name escapes me at the moment. He also recorded it but I like this version best. Ed: the group was Orleans and who knew a former US Democratic representative.

Matthew 2 :9-11 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. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down.
