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,
(bridge)
Truth stranger than fiction,
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 for ever,
Death would cease, at last,
And all this through
a life so new
on this one Christmas past,
Once upon a Christmas,
