Eternal Gifts

Santa knows what I want for Christmas
But Jesus knows what I need
It can't be purchased wrapped up and placed
Under an ephod tree

I need patience, kindness - virtues like these
To bend on my knee at the manger

Santa may bring these that last for a year
But eternal gifts come from the Savior

Some days come where I'm playing selfish
I can't think of no one but me
Then I think of all that I'm blessed with
And that's always best to give than to receive

I need faithfulness, love, generosity
To open my home to a stranger

Santa may bring things that last for a year
But eternal gifts come from the Savior

I need patience, kindness, generosity
To bend on my knee at the manger

Santa may bring things that last for a year
But eternal gifts come from the Savior

Santa knows what I want for Christmas
But Jesus knows what I need
