Một phụ nữ hấp hối vào đêm Giáng Sinh
chỉ ước mong được gặp Chúa trong bộ dạng đàng hoàng và tươm tất.
Bà đã mặc bộ quần đẹp nhất của mình để
sẵn sàng ra đi, nhưng vẫn chưa yên tâm vì còn thiếu một đôi giầy. Gia đình bà
quá nghèo.
Cậu con trai biết được ước nguyện của
mẹ nên gom góp hết tiền tiết kiệm của mình chạy ra tiệm mua cho mẹ một đôi giầy
mà cậu nghĩ là vừa đôi chân của mẹ và chắc chắn sẽ làm mẹ mỉm cười.
Ôm hộp giầy trên tay, cậu bé đứng xếp
hàng dài háo hức chờ đợi trả tiền với hy vọng về nhà trước khi mẹ chết để được
nhìn thấy mặt của mẹ mình rạng rỡ ra đi gặp Chúa.
Khi đến lượt mình, cậu móc hết tiền
ra để trên quầy, nhưng vì toàn là tiền lẻ, nên thâu ngân viên phải đếm từng xu
một, làm cậu rất bồn chồn, chỉ sợ khi ngưòi này đếm xong tiền thì mẹ mình đã về
với Chúa, vì bố nói với cậu “không còn nhiều thời gian nữa”.
Sau khi đếm tiền, cashier nói còn
thiếu; cậu liền thọc tay vào túi quần xem còn xót xu nào không, nhưng hai túi đều
trống rỗng, vì thế cậu liền quay lại phía
sau năn nỉ với một ngưòi lạ mặt rằng:
-Thưa ông, bây giờ con phải làm sao đây,
con rất cần đôi giầy này vì mẹ con muốn mang vào để đi gặp chúa Jesus trong đêm
nay.
Mời quý thầy cô và các anh chị nghe bài hát thật cảm động trong đêm giáng sinh buồn mang tựa đề: ĐÔI GIẦY GIÁNG SINH
Specially dedicated to L2
‘Cause it reminds me of you.
Lyrics
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
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
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
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 a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful, if mama meets Jesus tonight
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 mama 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
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,
"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"
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"
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 a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful, if mama meets Jesus tonight
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 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 what Christmas is all about
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me 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 a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful, if mama meets Jesus tonight
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 mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to
look beautiful
If mama meets Jesus tonight
If mama meets Jesus tonight
