Jamie Grace's 'The Story (Noel)' is a reflective Christmas song that blends personal testimony with the nativity narrative. She recalls her mother telling her about a boy who changed history, and she connects that childhood story to her adult faith. The lyrics emphasize that belief is natural and that faith is a choice, supported by evidence and personal experience. Grace points to the baby in the manger as the ultimate world-changer, whose work in her life confirms he was heaven-sent. The song gently encourages listeners to embrace the Christmas story as their own, celebrating the hope and transformation found in Jesus.

My mama used to tell me a story
About a little boy
She told me that he changed history
She told me that he changed the world
My mama used to tell me a story
About a little boy
She told me that he changed history
She told me that he changed the world
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
I think a lot of us are kids at heart
And every kid is a dreamer
And our dreams are just a bigger part
Of what we choose to believe in
And belief is only natural
Natural to every human
We all have faith inside of us
It's up to us how we use it
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Like any other kid, I grew up
And had to choose for myself
And I chose because of miracles and evidence
To believe in the World Changer
Maybe a baby in a manger
Don't seem like evidence, but
If you've seen the work that he's done in my life
You'll know he's heaven-sent
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
Noel, Noel
My mama used to tell me a story
About a little boy
She told me that he changed history
She told me that he changed the world
My mama used to tell me a story
About a little boy
She told me that he changed history
She told me that he changed the world
Noel, Noel
