Get ready for the goosebumps as husband and wife, Caleb + Kelsey, sing ‘Christmas Shoes.’ Christian group NewSong released the touching song in 2000. Since that time, this special tune has sparked a book and a television movie.
The song tells the story of a man doing some last-minute Christmas shopping. While he’s standing in line to checkout, a little boy steps up to the cashier with a pair of shoes. As he counts out his money, the boy realizes that he does not have enough. That is when he shares the heartbreaking reason he needs them right now.
‘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’
Caleb and Kelsey Grimm are an incredibly talented married duo. Known by their stage name, Caleb + Kelsey, these two Christian vocalists have given us brilliant worship covers and secular favorites such as ‘Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)’ and ‘My Heart Will Go On.’
Their videos have garnered hundreds of thousands of views across social media and they continue to use their God-given talents to sing praises to His Name.
Today, they are singing the heart-wrenching Christmas song ‘Christmas Shoes.’ And when you hear these words as a duet, you’ll have chills all over.
‘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 just what Christmas is all about’
Matthew 1:21 “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
