Eternal Gifts

So it's over. But I don't want it to end.

In an effort to stretch it out a little I'd like to share one of my new favorite Christmas songs. It reminds me of this image I've always liked:

I love how Santa worships the original and purest example of charity and selflessness.



The song is Eternal Gifts, by Leigh Nash.
It wasn't on playlist, but it can be heard at: http://www.last.fm/music/Leigh+Nash/_/Eternal+Gifts?autostart
I think it's quite sweet:


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 things 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
