Hank Snow
God Is My Santa Claus
[Verse 1]
In a class room at the grade school just before the Holidays
The boys and girls were writing notes to Santa far away
Expect the lad who sat alone, his paper put away
And when his teacher asked him why so softly he did say
[Refrain]
"For God is my Santa Claus each and every day
I don't write Him letters ma'am I just kneel and pray
Don't you know His greatest gift salvation is I found
God to be my Santa Claus each day the whole year round"
[Verse 2]
Then the teacher stood in silence after what the child had said
He really knew real Christmas day and not from books he'd read
He truly met real Santa Clause he said in just one word
God gave us Christ for Christmas day my Santa Clause is God
[Refrain]
God is my Santa Claus each and every day
I don't write Him letters ma'am I just kneel and pray
Do you know His greatest gift salvation is I found
God to be my Santa Claus each day the whole year round
