Getting huge response for this story, he then forwarded it to Eddie Carswell of NewSong. Having read the story he decided to write a song on this story. It took him four years to complete the song and have it on the album. This song is mainstream radio hit and continues to be played every Christmas season.

The Christmas Shoes Songs tells a tale of a boy who wants to gift his mother a beautiful pair shoes. He goes to the shop and ask the shopkeeper to take all his pennies and wrap the gift for his mother as her mother is going to meet Jesus anytime and before that special meeting he wants to gift her something special.

But the shoe costs more money than what boy had, so he explained shopkeeper about the problem. After listening to him the shopkeeper gave the shoes to the child to gift her mother. This song describes the feeling of love and humanity in a perfect way.

Christmas is a season of love, happiness and forgiveness. Every person should realize the true meaning of this festival and celebrate with the same spirit. This song is all about the festive spirit and love. The little boy in this story, without realizing inspired the stranger and helped him remember the real spirit of Christmas.

Few lines from the song are as:

“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 had 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 want to buy these shoes, for my Momma please

It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her style

Could you hurry Sir? Daddy says there’s not much time

You see, she’s been sick for quite a while.

I know these shoes will make her smile

and I want her to look beautiful

If Momma meets Jesus tonight.”
