Every November, when it’s time to decorate
We put out the nativities, but don’t do it in haste
We place Mary and Joseph, with the animals in the hay
But not yet baby Jesus, not ‘til Christmas Day
Finding Jesus in the closet with your shoes
Finding Jesus in a drawer next to the glue
Christmas morning Jesus has found you
Finding Jesus in everything that you do
The African nativity, the one made out of wood,
The glass one can hang on the tree, but it’s always understood…
Jesus hides behind the couch, or in your office desk
So on December 25th, be sure you don't forget!
