The sleigh was all packed, the
reindeer were fed,
But Santa still knelt
by the side of the bed.
"Dear Father," he prayed "Be
with me tonight.
There's much work to do
and my schedule is tight.
I must jump in my sleigh
and streak through the sky,
Knowing full well that a reindeer can't
fly.
I will visit each household
before the first light,
I'll cover the world and all in one
night.
With sleighbells a-ringing, I'll land
on each roof,
Amid the soft clatter of each little
hoof.
To get in the house is the difficult
part,
So I'll slide down the chimney of each
child's heart
My sack will hold toys to grant all
their wishes.
The supply will be endless like the
loaves and the fishes.
I will fill all the stockings and not
leave a track.
I'll eat every cookie that is left
for my snack.
I can do all these things Lord, only
through You,
I just need your blessing, then it's
easy to do.
All this is to honor the birth of the
One,
That was sent to redeem us, Your most
Holy Son.
So to all of my friends, least Your
glory I rob,
Please Lord, remind them who gave me
this job."
