In a classroom at the grade school
Just before the holidays
The boys and girls were writing notes
To Santa far away
Except a lad who sat alone
His paper put away
And when his teacher asked him why
So softly he did say
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
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 Claus
He said in just one word
God gave us Christ for Christmas Day
My Santa Claus is God
(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
