Hank Snow - God Is My Santa Claus

In a classroom at the grade school just before the Hollidays
The boys and girls were writing notes to Santa far away
Expect 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'm I just kneel and pray
Don't you know his greatest gift salvation is afound
God to be my Santa Claus each day the whole you're round.

--- Instrumental ---

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 his praise for Christmas day my Santa Clause is God.

(God is my Santa Claus each and every day
I don't write him letters ma'm I just kneel and pray)
Do you know his greatest gift salvation is found
God to be my Santa Claus each day the whole you're round...
