If you're still curious, the answer is YES - Hoyt Axton DID write a "religious" version of JOY TO THE WORLD (before he wrote it for Three Dog Night I think), which is found in some old 70s Christmas books...

Jeremiah was a prophet
Moses was a prophet too
Jesus was the Son of God & man
His love shines down on you....

Joy to the world
All the boys & girls now
Joy to the children of Galilee
Joy to you & me

The reason to be a Christian
Is just as plain as day
The sermon on the mountain
Was made to show the way...

When you're lost out on life's highway
& you have no place to hide
The keys are in the Kingdom
& we're all welcome inside...


but it wasn't Christmasy enough, so I rewrote the 1st & 2nd verses & kept the 3rd...
