Christmas Shoes
by Brian Free & Assurance

Album: Christmas With Brian Free & Assurance

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 'round like little boys do
And in his hands, he held a pair of shoes

And his clothes were worn and old
And 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 awhile
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Mama meets Jesus tonight

They counted pennies for what seemed like years
And 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 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 awhile
And I know these shoes will 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 of 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 awhile
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Mama meets Jesus tonight

I want her to look beautiful
If Mama meets Jesus tonight
