Lyrics
A change, a change has come over me
He changed my life and now I'm free
He changed my life complete
And now I sit at his feet
To do what must be done
I'll work and work until He comes
A wonderful change has come over me
A wonderful change has come over me
Change, change, change
I'm so glad He changed me
Change, change, change
I'm so glad He changed me
A change, a change has come over me

Meaning & Inspiration
Changed is a compact testimony of transformation through Christ. Its central declaration contrasts an earlier life with present freedom, giving God full credit for the change. The opening repetition makes conversion the song’s defining event, while the image of sitting at Christ’s feet suggests discipleship, humility, and attentive service. Freedom is not presented as inactivity; the singer answers grace with a resolve to work faithfully until Christ comes.
The lyric’s language closely reflects the New Testament description of becoming a new creation. Its joy also aligns with Jesus’ teaching that freedom given by the Son is genuine freedom. By returning several times to the word “change,” the song emphasizes both a decisive turning point and its continuing effect. The result is praise rooted in lived testimony: a life made free, redirected toward Christ, and committed to faithful service while awaiting his return.
