An angel appeared Of the highest One And Mary believed The word she received Of God's only son The Virgin rejoiced Gave thanks to the Lord And as Joseph dreamt The angel was sent With tidings of piece and joy Of the blessed baby boy They traveled for miles To reach Bethlehem Yet when they arrived No one could provide Place at the inn for them But God kept them safe From hurt, harm and danger In His warm embrace Away in a manger Waiting for Jesus' birth To glorify the Earth Then He came One child can change the world Christmas morn' The King of all Kings was born He reigns forevermore Let us worship and adore Christ the Lord Wondrous star Led shepherds and wise men Through valleys and mountains Angels surrounded them As they traveled far As Heaven and home Rang out for the Savior The sweet Prince of Peace Lay majestively Asleep glorious and pure And His mercy endures for always One child can change the world Christmas morn' The King of all Kings was born He reigns forevermore Let us worship and adore Christ the Lord One child can change the world On Christmas morn' The King of all Kings was born He reigns forevermore Let us worship him Let us worship him Let us worship Christ the Lord This angel appeared The angel appeared Christ the Lord On Christmas morn' - All I Want for Christmas Is You [Extra Festive]4:02
