Everything

I almost always am listening to my iPod while I’m driving, so it’s only rarely that I have a radio station turned on. But today I had it tuned to a local station that plays continuous Christmas music during the holiday season. Because I had it on this station, I heard a song that I would probably have never otherwise found.

What was played was a tune that Faith Hill released this year on her Christmas album, Joy To The World. As with many of the songs whose lyrics I post here, I was struck with the truth of the song, A Baby Changes Everything.

It’s so true. Back in Bethlehem, many years ago, a Baby changed everything. Everything. Can’t find more to say than that.

Teenage girl
Much too young
Unprepared for what’s to come
A baby changes everything

Not a ring
On her hand
All her dreams and all her plans
A baby changes everything
A baby changes everything

The man she loves
She’s never touched
How will she keep his trust
A baby changes everything
A baby changes everything

And she cries
Ooo, she cries
Oh …

She has to leave
Go far away
Heaven knows she can’t stay
A baby changes everything

She can feel
It’s coming soon
There’s no place, there’s no room
A baby changes everything
A baby changes everything

And she cries
And she cries
Oh, she cries

Shepherds all (shepherds all)
Gather ’round (they gather ’round)
Up above the star shines down
A baby changes everything

Choir of
Angels say
Glory to the newborn king
A baby changes everything
A baby changes everything

Everything, everything,
Everything
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)

My whole life
Has turned around
I was lost
And now I’m found

A baby changes everything
A baby changes everything
