Christmas ShoesIt was almost Christmas time, There I stood in another lineTrying to buy that last gift or twoNot really in the Christmas moodStanding right in front of meWas a little boy waiting anxiously?Pacing around like little boys doAnd in his hands he heldA pair of shoesAnd his clothes were worn and oldHe was dirty from head to toeAnd when it came his time to payI couldn't believe what I heard him say

Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma pleaseIt's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her sizeCould you hurry Sir?Daddy says there's not much timeYou see, she's been sick for quite a whileAnd I know these shoes will make her smileAnd I want her to look beautifulIf Momma meets Jesus, tonight.

He counted pennies for what seem like yearsAnd cashier says son there's not enough hereHe searched his pockets franticly And he turned and he looked at meHe said Momma made Christmas good at our houseThough most years she just did withoutTell me SirWhat am I gonna do?Some how I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the money downI just had to help him outAnd I'll never forgetThe look on his faceWhen he said Momma's gonna look so great.

Sir I wanna buy these shoes, for my Momma pleaseIt's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her sizeCould you hurry Sir?Daddy says there's not much timeYou see, she's been sick for quite a whileAnd I know these shoes will make her smileAnd I want her to look beautiful,If Momma meets Jesus tonight.

I knew I caught a glimpse of heavens love as he thanked me and ran out. I know that God had sent that little boy to remind meWhat Christmas is all about

Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma pleaseIt's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her sizeCould you hurry Sir?Daddy says there's not much timeYou see she's been sick for quite a whileAnd I know these shoes will make her smileAnd I want her to look beautifulIf Momma meets Jesus tonight

I want her to look beautifulIf Momma meets Jesus tonight
