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
