The World Changed

By: Hillary Wheeler

A baby full of power

A mother full of love

And a father wondering how this could be

All the angels sang

And the shepherds came

And knelt before the babe born to save

The world changed

When as a babe He came

And the breath of life breathed for the first time

In a world too blind

To see that the King of kings

Shed royalty so we could have peace

Three wisemen traveled far

They followed the guiding star

To the hope that

Had come to fill their souls

And the story unfolds

It will never grow old

As our children tell their children of God's love

The world changed

When as a babe He came

And the breath of life breathed for the first time

In a world too blind

To see that the King of kings

Shed royalty so we could have peace

Peace, peace, oh, wonderful peace, came down from the Father above

Oh, the world changed

When Jesus came

So we could have peace.
