Eternal Gifts - Leigh Nash

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
