The Christmas Shoes

NewSong

It was almost Christmas time

There I stood in another line

Tryin’ to buy that last gift or two

Not really in the Christmas mood

Standin’ right in front of me

Was a little boy waitin’ anxiously

Pacin’ around like little boys do

And in his hands he held

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 want to buy these shoes

For my mama 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

Would make her smile

And I want her to look beautiful

If mama 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 frantically

Then he turned and he looked at me

He said

Mama made Christmas good at our house

Though most years she did without

Tell me sir

What am I gonna to do

Somehow I’ve got to buy her

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

Mama’s gonna look so great

Sir I want to buy these shoes

For my mama 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

Would make her smile

And I want her to look beautiful

If mama meets Jesus tonight

I knew I’d caught a glimpse of Heaven’s 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 want to buy these shoes

For my mama 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

Would make her smile

And I want her to look beautiful

If mama meets Jesus tonight

And I want her to look beautiful

If mama meets Jesus tonight
