I was genuinely moved. Craig, KK, and Tim have found a way to take the oldest of stories, the birth of baby Jesus, and make it relevant to us today, with the hope and optimism that defines Christmas. I am so thankful and fortunate to have been given the opportunity to record the song for my Christmas album, because a baby did, and does, really change everything. Faith Hill 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 a gift This Christmas gift is for you. It may not be quite what you were anticipating.
It may be unexpected. Or you may think it's too much and all wrong for you. But it's just right,
It's a gift more precious than silver or gold.
And it's perfect for you. A BABY This is the Christmas gift, The only gift, really... It's for you. It's for everyone. Everywhere.
Will you accept it? why you?You have found favor with God... Luke 1:30 Why not you? You are beautiful... special... wonderful... Yes, YOU. prepare Ready for a miracle? Nobody's ever really ready for a miracle.
Ready for a baby? Ready or not, it's coming sure as Christmas. Just like the first big drop at the start of a rollercoaster you absolutely know it's coming, it's what you signed on for, you're locked in, you've counted the clicks as the cars cranked higher and higher. You know what's coming, sort of. You know what's coming, and you're excited and terrified and you're short of breath and you feel ready to scream and you can't wait and you hope it never comes and you hope it comes soon and you...and...and...and...wheeeeeeee! Yeah, you're never quite ready and you can hardly wait. Terrifying. Terrific.
The man she loves she never touched How will she keep his trust? A baby changes everything A baby changes everything And she cries... Be not afraid. You are never aloneCHRISTMASAND THEgiftOF CHRISTMASIS YOUR REMINDER THAT YOU ARENOT ALONE...YOU ARENEVERALONE. You have angels. A BABY CHANGES EVERYTHING.Rejoice...the Lord is with you...Luke 1:28TookSee the world with new eyes. It's hard to judge others when you are preoccupied with love. A baby changes everything. dreamsA DREAM IS WHAT MIGHT BE.Even if they've faded, this Gift of Christmas
will breathe new lifeinto them. To have a baby is to dream new dreams, to dream further into the future than you ever have before.
This child will change who you are and who you will become. From the first cry, your dreams will never be the same. A baby is a dream come true. She has to leave, go far away Heaven knows she cant stay A baby changes everything goA BABY GIVES YOUCOURAGE. You'll do things for a baby
you'd never dream of doing
for anyone else For a child, youll make a fool of yourself, youll give more than you thought you had. For a child youll be bigger, bolder, braver, better.
