Merry Christmas

"In a classroom, at the grade-school, just before the Holiday;

The boys and girls were writing notes to Santa far away;

Except the lad who sat alone, his paper put away;

And, when his teacher asked him why, so softly he did say;

'God is my Santa Claus each and every day;

I don't write Him letters, Mam.  I just kneel and pray;

Do you know His Greatest Gift?  Salvation is, I've found;

God to be my Santa Claus each day the whole year 'round.'

Well, the teacher stood in silence after what the child had said;

He truly knew real Christmas Day and not from books he'd read;

He truly knew real Santa Claus, he'd said in just a word;

'God gave us Christ on Christmas Day, my Santa Claus is God.'

'God is my Santa Claus each and every day;

I don't write Him letters, Mam.  I just kneel and pray;

Do you know His Greatest Gift?  Salvation is, I've found;

God to be my Santa Claus each day the whole year 'round.'"

Thank You so much, Dear Jesus, for all You've done for us, and thank You so much,

Dear Heavenly Father for sacrificing your very own Son, Your only One.

If you know the author of the above song, please let me know right away.  Thank you.
