All Year Long

Lyrics

He braced that 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 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 and 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 And though surrounded by all Of man's goods we embrace This hope of that Bethlehem night We'll never store this blessed gift away With the tinsel and colored lights 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 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 In God's presence all year long
