True Gifts
Winter has dawned
Christmas is near
At the end of that week
Is the Happy New Year
Children are excited
Bursting with joy
Looking forward to Santa
Bringing them all new toys
Parents are dreaming
Of the big day ahead
When the family's together
In their cozy homestead
As the year closes down
Leaving in it's wake
A family secure
Each having a place
In the hearts of the others
Something Santa can't give
A close loving family
The second greatest of gifts
But true happiness comes
Not from under a tree
But from what God has done
For both you and me
He sent His only Son
To die in our stead
Where did we go wrong
Why is Santa at the head
Jesus gives us a clean heart
A shiny soul within
He presents us to our Father
Free from sin
He builds us a mansion
We'll live there for all eternity
He gives us Salvation
And it's all for free
He fills not our stockings
But our hearts and our lives
With every good gift
We treasure the prize
On this important day of the year
Don't forget who's day it is
Santa brings toys
But God brings true gifts
