It was almost Christmas time 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 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 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.
He counted pennies for what seem like years And cashier says son there's not enough here He searched his pockets franticly And 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? Some how I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I layed 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 heavens love as he thanked me and ran out. I know 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 tonight
I want her to look beautiful If Momma meets Jesus tonight
The Christmas Shoes is a Christmas-themed story, song, novel, film, and play. Originally an Internet-forwarded legend, it was forwarded to a member of the Christian vocal group NewSong in 1996. They worked on the song for four years and eventually released it as a bonus track in 2000; it reached #31 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart that year, and #42 on the Hot 100 chart. A year later, all-female group 3 of Hearts released their own version, which peaked at #37. In 2002 Donna VanLiere took the story and the theme of the song and produced a novelization which was published in 2002 by St. Martin's Press. The book became a made-for-TV movie released in December 2002.
