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
