We give our hearts away to so many things that can’t save you or me
letting our hearts find a moment of fulfillment that will never be
Enough to conquer the burning question that we grow to believe
Who is the best at bringing joy and love that we can all receive?

This world is full of information that we can take in and spit out
Only one man can truly satisfy the soul and give life without a doubt
But how quickly we forget with the presents that Santa brings
The joy that jolly man can share with the world that loves getting things

We allow for lies to burn an image inside our heads for way too long
What does Christmas mean and who are these two men we got all wrong?
How can a jolly man named Santa Claus who lives in the North Pole?
Provide us any truth when he’s a character we created to make us whole

But a Savior we call Jesus Christ came along to impress the spectator
Showing us a better lifestyle and bring us something so much greater
Cause we have the bible that shares His message of real love and grace
Unlike Santa Claus this man we know as Jesus was a sacrifice to replace

It’s time for us to adjust our eyes because we need to see the real picture
Read the words with your own eyes and understand the Holy Scripture
So why it is then that you can turn your focus on gifts, food, and reindeer?
When these are merely objects that get our mind’s distracted so we veer

The world’s false impressions that we let bleed into our mind and blot
A complex reason that draws us to question why we lose our thought
On a wooden cross that we have replaced with a shiny Christmas tree
What does Christianity really mean to you and who do you claim to be?

Our home is meant to be heaven but a winter snow has moved through
Keeping Santa’s name famous but the glamour’s not enough to compare to You
Despite the warmth of the season and Christmas cheer this man can bring
He will never amount to the presence of our One and only Heavenly King

I can only give my heart away to One man who provides us with salvation
Although Santa can bring comfort and joy he did not draw out creation
This Santa figure we recognize will however trigger excitement deep inside
But we cannot let the reason of Christmas be forgotten or ever try to hide

For it is understood that Christ is the only one who can take away our sin
Perform miraculous healings and provide protection from the outside moving
in
What can Santa do for our soul and how can he rescue us from our pain?
When he is a mythical Character that we led people to believe to help sustain
A hope, a peace, and a comfort during the season that brings us closer as a family
Never let the world convince you that Santa is better than Jesus who lives in me
