Is Jesus In a Box?

IS JESUS IN A BOX? The lights are off, the tree is down They've all been packed away In an outbuilding or the attic To await next Christmas Day The ornaments all are carefully wrapped In their individual box The wreaths and centerpieces And all the Christmas socks But where did you put the Baby Who was in a stable born Is He packed up and laid away Until next Christmas morn Or is He living in your heart And with you every day Do you tell others about Him Or is He packed away The ornaments and all the lights Can remain where they are stored But you have a responsibility To tell others about our Lord To keep Him in the attic To me, is surely wrong He should be high and lifted up And your life be filled with song So don't put Jesus in a box To be visited once a year Keep Him in your heart year 'round And your life will be filled with cheer Curtis Moorman Christmas 2004
