We the kings of oil and might,
Turning blind eyes, day and night,
World Cup’s near, but do we hear,
Cries for human rights?

O, star of justice, guide our fight,
Against the wrong, uphold the right,
East and West, let hearts be true,
In Christ, we stand for those abused.

Saudi land, where voices fade,
Freedom’s call, in shadows laid,
Western gaze, in profit’s haze,
Justice long delayed.

O, star of justice, guide our fight,
Against the wrong, uphold the right,
East and West, let hearts be true,
In Christ, we stand for those abused.

Voices rise in darkened land,
Seeking justice, hand in hand,
Let the poor and oppressed be free,
Christ our strength, our liberty.

O, star of justice, guide our fight,
Against the wrong, uphold the right,
East and West, let hearts be true,
In Christ, we stand for those abused.

Church arise, with courage bold,
Speak for those whose rights are sold,
Christ the rebel, broke the chains,
Let His love unfold again.

O, star of justice, guide our fight,
Against the wrong, uphold the right,
East and West, let hearts be true,
In Christ, we stand for those abused.

Stand with those who suffer long,
Shine a light to right the wrong,
In His name, we’ll make them strong,
For justice, we must stand as one.

O, star of justice, guide our fight,
Against the wrong, uphold the right,
East and West, let hearts be true,
In Christ, we stand for those abused.

14 of 25 Christmas carols with revised lyrics for Advent & Christmas Day reflections 2024, can be sung to the relevant tune.

Full disclosure, ChatGPT and Copilot have been utilised in the developing of this revised version of We Three Kings which touches on current affairs with reference to the recent announcement of the football world cup being hosted in Saudi Arabia, incorporating biblical references by or about Jesus (Matthew 2:1-10, Isaiah 1:17, John 13:34, Proverbs 31:8-9, Luke 4:18, Ephesians 5:2, Matthew 5:14-16, John 14:13-14). The hope is that, amidst the division and suffering, a message of peace, justice, hope and reconciliation remains.
