I needed some new shoes
I'm not that fussy
It's not like I need Jimmy Choos
Just something unique to me
So I went hunting
In the local malls
Little shoe stores
But nothing caught my eye
Until I saw the torn flyer
On the telephone pole
It said, "Amazing deals, Unique steals
The right shoe for everyone, Today only!"
So I was hooked
And I went
I got to the parking lot
And it looked like a carnival tent
Dirty and town
I approached with apprehension
I walked through the flap
And lost all my tension
There before me
Was the most amazing assortment of shoes
On neat wooden shelves
Aligned by size, style and hue
I started to prowl the aisles
Touching here
Trying on there
Until I worked my way to the back
Where a voice asked
"Can I help you?"
I looked around, then down
A small person looked up at me
His timeless face
Reassured me that he could help
So I explained what I wanted
And he smiled, "Come with me"
He led me through the back of the tent
Into a small trailer
Where something did appear to me:
A pair of high top tennis shoes
They were on a pedestal
Surrounded by light
I was excited
But held back by fright
Can I try them on?" I asked
He nodded, so I did
And I was transported
These shoes weren't just right
They were RIGHT
They hugged my feet
They buoyed my spirit
I felt like I could do anything
As long as I wore these shoes
I could walk on water
Heal the sick
Feed the poor
Levitate
I call them my Jesus Shoes
