The star brought fear to some
And awe to many as it moved white bright
Through the heavens both day and night
A child born in a humble town
How we live turned upside down
For they called Him Lord of power and might
The world changed for those who heard His call
And yet, the world changed not at all
They called this Lord the miracle man
He seemed to answer so many wishes
He fed the multitude with loaves and fishes
And taught of love, what pleased the Father
Only to suffer and die a martyr
Rising over all compromise and earthly riches
The world changed for those who heard His call
And the world changed not at all
His followers were persecuted by imperial Rome
But they told his story and put it in a book
Somehow the word spread and the message took
The child and the miracle man still had work to do
Redirecting man to what was good and true
Fulfilling not the politics of expectation
But how to love one another and find expiation
And the world changed for those who heard His call
And the world changed not at all
At Christmas they still remember the promise of long ago
When the meek did inherit the earth
And the peacemaker stole the show
When the lamb lay down with the lion
'Fore a child to whom Magi bowed low
...What to make of it all, by mortal measures
We cannot know...
For faith is a visitor from afar
Moving across our lives like a marvelous star
And the world changed for those who heard His call
And the world changed not at all
