Jesus In a Box
Some folks put Jesus in a box
and take Him out on Sunday,
when church is over bring Him home
and He’s boxed again by Monday.
There are other folks who do not let Him
hang around at all
except perhaps at Christmas time
beneath the tree or in the hall.
Like the other decorations
He is just there for the fun.
He’ll be put away for the whole year
when Christmastime is done.
Then there are the extremists
who never want to see His face.
They insist He must be banished
from every public place.
They can bar Him from the schoolroom,
The avenue and mart,
But they can never take Him
from a faithful Christian’s heart.
