Men brave snow and fear of heights To deck their houses with strings of lights And strangers smile like old friends might Everything changes at Christmas Mary and Joseph and the baby in the hay Come down from the attic and go on display And treetop angels seem to say Everything changes at Christmas Well, if it’s a story, what a story Who would dreamed up a scheme like this? But if it’s the real thing, think of what that means Everything changes at Christmas Everything changes at Christmas Well, if the shepherds were not wrong If there was an angel song If God planned this all along Then everything changes at Christmas 'Cause if that was the Savior’s birth That means God thought we were worth Whatever it took to bring love down to earth So everything changes at Christmas Yeah, if God really came to town What was lost has now been found If we will accept that love Nothing will be like it was 'Cause this is the real thing Think of what that means Everything changes, yeah everything Because of the story, what a story Who would dreamed up a scheme like this? But if it’s the real thing Think of what that means Everything changes at Christmas Christmas changes everything So joy to the world, the Lord is come Oh, come let us adore him He changes everything
