Christmas Shoes by Bob Carlisle
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 standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously pacing around like little boys do and in his hand 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 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
they counted pennies for what seemed like years then the cashier said, "Son there's not enough here" he searched his pockets frantically and he turned and he looked at me he said, "Momma made christmas good at our house although, most years she just did without tell me sir what am I gonna do? some how I gotta 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 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 tonight
I knew I caught a glimpse of Heaven's love as he thanked me and ran out I know that God has 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 tonight
I want her to look beautiful if momma meets Jesus tonight :scared:
