It was the 24th of December,
the night of Christmas eve
when Santa came down the chimney
with a present up every sleeve.
He found there was a tree there,
just like in every house
cookies and milk on the counter
and even a friendly mouse.
But something different did catch his eye
as he took the gifts from his pouch
He noticed something open over there
There was a Bible on the couch.
In all the houses that he had been
he'd never noticed this before
and Santa remembered as he turned around
and he headed on out the door.
That Jesus is the reazon for Christmas,
how many times he had forgoten
this one humble family had reminded him
of the Father's love begotten.
