The Evergreen Lyrics

It stood there in the window

Shining light into the street

A symbol of this special time of year

People passing by would stop

To gaze upon the light

That filled their hearts with warmth and holiday cheer

And as I stood there watching

I heard a voice beside my head

It began to speak and this is what it said

Oh the evergreen points up toward the heavens

And the star still leads wise men to their King

And the lights remind me of the angels singing

Glory in the highest over shepherds and their sheep

While the ornaments aglow in all their splendor

Shine just like the lives that have been changed

By a little baby born to be our Savior

Dying on a cross of wood

To bring life to you and me

And I'll never look the same again

At my Christmas tree

And from of old the evergreen

Represents eternal life

And few are those who know the reason why

It was said that cursed is anyone

Who was hung upon a tree

But Jesus bore the curse

So we could live

Eternally

And the evergreen points up toward the heavens

And the star still leads wise men to their King

And the lights remind me of the angels singing

Glory in the highest over shepherds and their sheep

While the ornaments aglow in all their splendor

Shine just like the lives that have been changed

By a little baby born to be our Savior

Dying on a cross of wood

To bring life to you and me

And I'll never look the same again

At my Christmas tree

No I'll never look the same again

At my Christmas tree
