The Box
I stared out the frosty window
As the sunlight danced on sparkling snow
In a fragrant hush of evergreen
Cedar cinnamon and clove
Surrounded by familiar voices
Joining in O Come Emmanuel
The advent candle flickered
As the Reverend told us of the first Noël
My little hand tugged Grandma's sleeve
I loudly whispered Is it finally time
Caught my Daddy's eye and sat back down
Mama simply smiled
At that moment I knew she remembered
And my heart beat wildly at the thought
Of Mama climbing down the ladder
From the attic carrying the box
Tucked beneath the tinsel
The pinecone wreath and lights on tangled strings
Under crocheted snowflakes hand-stitched birds
And stars we found my favorite thing
We carefully unwrapped the fragile pieces
From their paper one by one
The angel and the shepherds
Mary Joseph and their baby son
I arranged and rearranged them all
Until I knew that I had it just right
I laid Jesus in the manger
Like God had done on that holy night
First born over all creation
Come to earth to reign as Prince of Peace
The perfect gift given
At the perfect time to save a world in need
Ooh first born over all creation
Come to earth to reign as Prince of Peace
The perfect gift given
At the perfect time to save you and me
As the sunlight danced on sparkling snow
In a fragrant hush of evergreen
Cedar cinnamon and clove
Surrounded by familiar voices
Joining in O Come Emmanuel
The advent candle flickered
As the Reverend told us of the first Noël
My little hand tugged Grandma's sleeve
I loudly whispered Is it finally time
Caught my Daddy's eye and sat back down
Mama simply smiled
At that moment I knew she remembered
And my heart beat wildly at the thought
Of Mama climbing down the ladder
From the attic carrying the box
Tucked beneath the tinsel
The pinecone wreath and lights on tangled strings
Under crocheted snowflakes hand-stitched birds
And stars we found my favorite thing
We carefully unwrapped the fragile pieces
From their paper one by one
The angel and the shepherds
Mary Joseph and their baby son
I arranged and rearranged them all
Until I knew that I had it just right
I laid Jesus in the manger
Like God had done on that holy night
First born over all creation
Come to earth to reign as Prince of Peace
The perfect gift given
At the perfect time to save a world in need
Ooh first born over all creation
Come to earth to reign as Prince of Peace
The perfect gift given
At the perfect time to save you and me
