On a day like any other

In our search to find the truth

Lucy, Edmund, Eustace, and Reepicheep were all sailing on through the sea of white lilies in the rowboat towards where they hoped Aslan's country was.

We turned so many musty pages

In our hope to find some clue

Reepicheep shot ahead in his coracle and Lucy, Edmund, and Eustace walked over to where a white lamb was standing near a fire on which fish were frying.

Then the words leapt from the parchment

From Jacob shines a star

Aslan suddenly appeared where the lamb had stood a moment ago. Then he told Lucy and Edmund that they were never going to come back to Narnia again. Lucy explained that it wasn't so much Narnia, but Aslan. They would miss him terribly over there.

That a wordless one who is the word

Will be worth a journey far

Aslan told them that he was in their world, too. The reason they had been brought into Narnia was so they would be able to know him better in their world, but they would have to learn his name over there. Then he ripped open a hole and Lucy Edmund and Eustace fell through and back into Eustace's house.

We will find Him

We will find Him

We will follow His star

We will search and we will follow

No matter how far

When Lucy and Edmund returned to their home in England and saw Peter, they told him about their most recent adventure and what Aslan had said about his being in their world as well. Peter told them that he wanted to find out, too, and would search with them.

In castles, through kingdoms

We know where to start

To find the king whose kingdom is the heart

So Peter, Lucy, and Edmund searched. They borrowed books from the library and read. They looked for something, anything, that might remind them of Aslan. They were determined to find out what he had meant.

It was a night like any other

So cold and black and dark

It was evening on Christmas Eve. Peter flung away the book he'd been looking at with a groan. There was nothing in it. They had been searching for months and hadn't found a thing.

And it told us all too clearly

Of the night inside our hearts

Edmund sighed and put his head in his left hand. It was so depressing that they hadn't managed to find anything yet. He was beginning to get discouraged.

Then the star tore through the darkness

And like an angel shone

Lucy suddenly reached over and picked up the family Bible. She randomly flipped it open and started to read. Her eyes widened as she suddenly realized that here, at last, was something familiar. She was on the trail to figuring out the mystery Aslan had given them to solve.

To guide us to that one true Light

Who became flesh and bone

She raced to the other two and showed them the passage in the Bible that she had found. They, too, read the passage she indicated and then turned to look at her and smiled.

We will find Him

We will find Him

We will follow His star

We will search and we will follow

No matter how far

They began flipping through the Bible, stopping every so often to read a passage and either decide it was related to Aslan or it wasn't. Finally the pieces were beginning to come together. They even found out what his name in their world was: Jesus.

In castles, through kingdoms

We know where to start

To find the king whose kingdom is the heart

Mrs. Pevensie poked her head around the corner of the room the three of them were in and knocked on the wall to gain attention. Lucy, Edmund, and Peter all looked up. Mrs. Pevensie reminded them that it was Christmas Eve and they were going to their church's Christmas Eve service.

He stilled our secret syllables

And hushed our wisest words

Lucy, Edmund, and Peter sat in the pew at their church talking about what they had found until the service began and the minister began to read. The passage mentioned the name of "Jesus." The three of them suddenly fell silent and listened.

In the silence of the stable there

Was wisdom finally heard

Their eyes slowly traveled to the Nativity scene at the front of the church. They saw the baby Jesus in the manger. And finally the last piece of the puzzle fell into place. They knew, now, who Aslan was in their world.

We have found Him

We have found Him

We have seen the true Light

After the church service was over and they were outside, Lucy started to dance with joy on her way to the family car. Peter and Edmund, laughing, joined her.

What was darkness

What was shadow

In His presence is delight

They reached the car. Mrs. Pevensie and Susan got in first. Peter, Edmund, and Lucy all embraced happily and then Peter and Edmund climbed in.

This One born so lowly the heavens declare

Will someday reign without a rival there

Lucy took a moment to gaze up at the stars. Just for a moment, she thought she could make out the shape of a great Lion among the constellations. Then she, too, climbed into the car and the Pevensie family left the church parking lot and went home.
