	Story Behind the Song So many Christmas songs today only portrays the birth of Jesus as a little baby, if not involving Santa Claus bypassing His ministry in this world which He still operates through the work of the Holy Spirit. I wanted a song that goes beyond Christmas and focussing on His work in us today and not only 2000 years ago. Lyrics ONCE IN BETHLEHEM (Words and Music by Mario Gentil) Copyright: Molian Music Publishing Ltd, 2000 (ASCAP) Once in Bethlehem came the Lord Christ Jesus He was born in a stable at night Wise men and shepherds came to pray and worship Offering presents to the King of kings I couldve been there on that day To worship among those who knew He was a King Or I couldve been there on my way To slay all the children and from God walk away What gift should I give than a heart who loves him And whos waiting for His coming again Now the time of songs has come Lets sing all you children of his coming yet so near Forgive and love your enemies As youve been forgiven in His sanctuary today Love, peace, salvation sent to us from heaven Can change the heart thats broken with sin Change our poor world, turn pain and sorrow Into real joy and happiness and save us... Jesus sweet Saviour just a change in our hearts Will let your love be shown to the world Forgive the sinners, listen to prayers And the songs of the children of the world Forgive the sinners and listen to prayers And the songs of the children of the world
