So many centuries of watching and waiting
But when the moment came well nobody saw
Traders and travelers hurried by
And life went on just like before
Just like before
In all the clamor just a new baby crying
One more poor family shut out in the cold
Nothing unusual sad to say
Hasn't it always been this way?
But nothing will ever be the same again
This night has changed everything
Nothing will ever be the same again
Since the night he came
So rare we recognize our history in the making
Meet angels unawares and pass on our way
Blind to the moment of destiny
While precious years just slip away, slip away
And now a door is standing open before you
Casting its light into the darkness around
Stop for a moment, step inside
Tonight could be your Bethlehem
And nothing will ever be the same again
This night could change everything
Nothing will ever be the same again
Since the night he came
A child is born a Son is given
And his Kingdom of peace will never end
A child is born a Son is given
And his Kingdom of peace will never end
Never end, No!
And nothing will ever be the same again
This night could change everything
Nothing will ever be the same again
Since the night he came
