(Verse 1)
There’s an angel on the top, been there since ’83
Mama bought it at the five-and-dime, means the world to me
Baby’s first Christmas ball, faded red and gold
Every branch tells a story, precious memories we hold
(Chorus)
Going up on our Christmas tree
Decades of God’s love and grace we see
Every ornament, every light that shines
Reminds us of His blessings through the years gone by
From the laughter to the tears we’ve cried
He’s been faithful, standing by our side
Going up on our Christmas tree
All God’s goodness shining back at me
(Verse 2)
There’s the snowflake Grandpa carved before he passed away
And the star the kids made in Sunday School that one special day
Pictures in those frames of glass, faces young and old
Each December we unwrap these treasures more precious than gold
(Chorus)
Going up on our Christmas tree
Decades of God’s love and grace we see
Every ornament, every light that shines
Reminds us of His blessings through the years gone by
From the laughter to the tears we’ve cried
He’s been faithful, standing by our side
Going up on our Christmas tree
All God’s goodness shining back at me
(Bridge)
Through the seasons, through the change
His love has remained the same
Every year we gather ’round
Thank the Lord for joy we’ve found
(Final Chorus)
Going up on our Christmas tree
Decades of God’s love and grace we see
Every ornament tells us once again
He’s been with us through it all, our faithful friend
And when new memories find their place
We’ll see more evidence of grace
Going up on our Christmas tree
Heaven’s love shining back at me
God’s love shining back at me
