He braced the old ladder with all of His might And shouted, dad have no fear As I stretched high to store the stockings and trim In the attic for another year We were busily packing our Christmas away While singing a carol we knew When I heard my son in innocence inquire Do we store away Jesus too
Chorus All year long We must worship day by day All year long Tis the season to obey May the Christmas tree lights And the sleigh rides at night Remind us all to stay in God's presence All year long
I smiled at my boy as again I explain God's longing to reconcile How He gave to the world the gift of new life When His yearning became Mary's child Though surrounded by all of man's goods we embrace The hope of that Bethlehem night We will never store this blessed gift away With the tinsel and colored lights
