Another inspiring original composition that Josh interprets with appropriate tenderness. It tells of the simple, but moving, beginnings of the Christmas story.
Lyrics
On a Christmas Long Ago
Written by Sally DeFord
In a manger, mean and poor Mary laid the Son she bore
And wrapped Him well to keep Him warm on a Christmas long ago
On a holy Christmas night so long ago
At the manger, bleak and bare Joseph watched with tender care
And whispered thanks to God in prayer on a Christmas long ago
On a holy Christmas night so long ago
Gloria! the angels cried Gloria! to God on high
Gloria! our hearts reply Gloria!
‘Twas a baby, meek and small sleeping ‘neath the starlight’s fall
Who came to love and save us all on a Christmas long ago
On a holy Christmas night so long ago
Gloria!
