Story behind the song
A joint effort by Tammy Swindell, Kurt Lewis Neufer and Dawn Diamond.
Lyrics
1.) On the road toward Bethlehem, Following a Star; Three wise men on a journey, Traveling from afar. Asking all that they saw, "Where's the King that has been born? We have come to worship Him. In the East we've seen His star." 2.) There were shepherds in the field, Keeping watch o’er their sheep. The Arch Angel appeared, And God's glory shone complete. All of them were startled Filled with so much fright. The Arch Angel said "Fear not- Born is the child of light." (Chorus) His name is Jesus, Salvation He brings; He brings love and light to this nation. Come ye and worship Him 3.) All that saw were amazed. Bowing down to worship. Many gifts were given All to honor Him. Born in a stable, But the greatest gift of all. Was the joy of His birth. For He came to save us all. (chorus)

Don't tell me this is yet another one that I got kicked off of when you accidentally banned me!!! LOLOLOLOLOL! You will never know, Kurt, how much I really appreciated what you and Dawn Diamond did with my humble song. I still remember the tears when I got this nice surprise in my email that year after Christmas.....this was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for me in the way of music. :) Both of you are really special people, that's for sure. :)

"Following A Star" is one of your best Christmas originals with a haunting, timeless feel to it. Dawn's ethereal background vocals and the synth really sweeten the experience. Noel. I've got some new Xmas stuff you might like.

Kurt my boy, how are you? How did the interview go for the job? Like Tammy i see you've been busy recording,recording and recording! I'm really enjoying 'Following a star' Tremendous vocals and i love Dawns harmonies. I've not been upto anything too enjoyable, just working. I've spent a little time in the studio and hopefully will finish mixing the CD on the 19th with Mike, apart from that i visited my mother in Cyprus for a week where she now lives and enjoyed the warm weather, at the moment we've had cold frosty mornings all week. I hope all is well with you and the family Kurt and i wish you the very best. Catch you before Christmas, take care! Danny

"Following A Star" is a beautiful track. So happy to be able to hear this on Christmas day. Extremey hip vibe going on here. Intense vox delivered right on target with a laid back yet "Cashesque" like urgency. Down to earth lyrics woven for all to clearly comprehend and relate to. Great musicianship, pristene production. So appreciative to you and Tammy for laying this one down, Congratulations! Wow! Merry Christmas my friends! God bless. Love, Mike, Susie, and the girls
