歌曲分享：《Christmas Shoes》

前兩天哥跟我們分享的歌曲—— 《Christmas Shoes》，歌曲中陳訴的故事好像曾經在哪裡看過，當時被故事中的愛所深深感動。如今聽著Bob Carlisle以磁性的歌聲唱出這段故事，我又再次被感動得模糊了視線⋯⋯

歌詞如下：

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 '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 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 would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Momma 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, "Momma made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without.
Tell me Sir, what am I gonna 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, "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'd caught a glimpse of heaven's 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
