St. Nicholas

There's a little bit of St. Nicholas in all of us… Most of us will never ride on a flying sled Led by nine reindeer, one with a "nose so red" And most of us will never go all around the world In just one night with gifts for every boy and girl But we all want this time of year to be A happy holiday for little ones to see There's a little bit of St. Nicholas In all of us each year And it's all because we are Santa Claus To all we hold so dear So in the Spirit of Christmas love Let us share this season's cheer With everyone like a newborn Son In the Nick of time this year (Chorus) Most of us may never jingle bells dressed in red For spare change so others can be sheltered, clothed and fed And most of us may never visit the needy overseas Or spend hours with our neighbors or the least of these But let's give to those who ask and show charity To the poor and lonely, and the young and old that be Without necessities of life within longings of love So they will believe in what they're dreaming of And receive what they need and more than enough So that they too can be a little like St. Nicholas (Chorus)
