Karaoké The Christmas Shoes NewSong

It was almost Christmas time and there I stood in another line

Trying to buy that 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 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 wanna 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

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 just did without

Tell me sir what am I going 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

And I'll never forget the look on his face when he said

Mama's gonna look so great

Sir I wanna 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

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

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

I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
