Christmas Shoes
It was almost Christmas time
There I stood in another line
Trying to buy the last gift or two
Not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me
Was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing round like little boys do
And in his hands, were a pair of shoes
And his clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
I know these shoes will make her smile
Want her to look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said Son there's not enough here
He searched his pockets so frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Momma made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me, Sir, what am I gonna do?
Somehow I've got to buy these Christmas shoes!
So I laid the money down
I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face
When he said "Momma's gonna look so great"
Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus
I knew that I got a glimpse of heavens love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all about
I got a glimpse of heavens love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all about
Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus
Wanna buy these shoes for my momma please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, Sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Momma meets Jesus tonight
Momma meets Jesus tonight
Momma meets Jesus tonight
There I stood in another line
Trying to buy the last gift or two
Not really in the Christmas mood
