Lyrics
Once upon a Christmas,
In a land so far,
The night sky paled-
so to unveil-
the light of one bright star,
Angels came to shepherds
camped out in the field,
Their greetings called
"Good will to all",
A baby's birth revealed,
Once upon a Christmas,
Once upon a Christmas
oh so long ago,
A little town-
was where you found-
a stable all aglow,
Infant in a manger,
Mother standing near,
The rich and poor-
came to adore-
this baby, now revered,
Once upon a Christmas,
Truth stranger than fiction, (BRIDGE)
Not subject to debate,
The story of the birth of Christ
is God's Word incarnate,
Once upon a Christmas,
For the sake of Man,
A little boy-
would soon deploy-
God's own salvation plan,
Change this world forever,
Death would cease, at last,
And all this through-
a life so new-
on this one Christmas past,
Once upon a christmas,.
