1. The candles are all flickering,
and soft lights are aglow.
There is a hush of silence,
and everybody knows
that there will be a visitor soon
in red from hat to glove,
sliding down the chimney
from the rooftop up above.
He will look so JOLLY,
but be quiet as a mouse.
In his reindeer driven sleigh,
he'll visit every house.
The skies will light his coming,
as all the stars shine bright,
while Santa's sleigh and reindeer soar
and glide throughout the night.
2. Santa brings the children presents
every Christmas Eve,
to give them joy and happiness,
and help them to BELIEVE.
Most of them are cheerful,
and await him happily,
but some are sad and lonely,
are sick or in great need.
But Santa's not discouraged
since he knows who's in command.
The Lord who sends him sleighing
holds the world within His hand.
As Santa looks into the face of God
he knows its true,
there's so much love to spread on earth
and so much good to do.
3. He knows on Christmas morning
that all lit up will be
the faces of the children
around their Christmas tree.
They will LAUGH and shout with merriment,
and dance with glee.
Parents will embrace and
bounce their children on their knee.
Watching gently falling snow
through windows white with frost,
they'll say "You know, your Heavenly Father
is just like Santa Claus!"
4. Both are kind and caring,
loving unconditionally.
They are cheerful givers,
never tiring easily.
Constant in FORGIVENESS,
they search the lost in need.
They clothe the cold and naked,
and the hungry love to feed.
If you ever feel at times
you may have lost your way,
just thinking about Santa Claus
will brighten up your day.
5. Whenever it is difficult
to see God in your need,
you certainly will find Him
in every KINDLY deed.
In silence try to hear His voice
so soothing and so clear.
With His embrace just feel Him
melt away your every fear.
This Christmas as you gaze through
lovely windows white with frost,
keep in mind your Heavenly Father
is just like Santa Claus!
