Intro: Som en advents”fasta” ska jag göra en egen julkalender. Jag publicerar en julsång (oftast med en liten betraktelse) varje kväll fram till jul.
En sång om den där dagen för länge sedan. Ibland känns det i all fall väldigt länge sedan och väldigt långt borta. Men så när man tänker på vad det var som faktiskt hände, och att det var för oss, just du och jag, som det hände…….

Once upon a Christmas,
Far away in Bethlehem.
Mary, being great with child,
Had no place to lie down.
So Joseph found a stable
in which Mary had her child.
Once upon a Christmas,
was the birth of Jesus Christ.
Once upon a Christmas,
in a manger far away,
a King was born, his palace
was a manger filled with hay.
His royal robes were swaddling cloths,
a halo was His crown.
Once upon a Christmas,
away in Bethlehem.
And all the world rejoiced because
the King was born, at last.
A Savior had been promised,
now it had come to pass.
And the joyful news that He was born
spread quickly far and wide,
Once upon a Christmas,
was the birth of Jesus Christ.
And all the world rejoiced because
the King was born, at last.
A Savior had been promised,
now it had come to pass.
And the joyful news that He was born
spread quickly far and wide,
Once upon a Christmas,
was the birth of Jesus Christ.
Once upon a Christmas,
from the Far East, wise men came,
with gold, and myrrh, and frankinsence,
to praise the newborn King.
Shepherds left their flocks and came
to see and worship Him.
Once upon a Christmas,
away in Bethlehem.
And all the world rejoiced because
the King had come, at last.
A Savior had been promised,
now it had come to pass.
And the joyful news that He was born
spread quickly far and wide,
Once upon a Christmas,
was the birth of Jesus Christ.
Once upon a Christmas,
far away in Bethlehem.
Det kan vara IDAG, HÄR och NU, som vår Frälsare, Räddare, Kung, Gud, föds, med just DITT hjärta som Hans palats, DIN kärlek som Hans lindor, DITT gensvar som Hans krona. Mer än så behövs inte, Han nöjer sig med så lite, och så mycket.
