With a dirty nose pressed hard against the window

Of a candy store one day

A ragged little girl stood barefoot

While the hurried crowd went madly on their way

One lady stopped and smiled; she said, "I think I'll go inside,

And would you like to come along with me?"

Then behind that dirty face, she saw a smile that made her day

They just don't make candy that sweet

Then she bought some shoes for her little feet

Then dressed her up fit for a queen

And with a smile that came from heaven

She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you"

With an angel twinkle in her eyes

She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you

And Boy, I sure look pretty"

And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"

Are we walkin' too fast to see

A barefoot child on a lonely street

Are we rushin' by the ones in need

Or will some child play for you and me

With a smile that came from heaven

She said, "Ma'am", I sure do love you"

With an angel twinkle in her eyes

She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you

And boy, I sure look pretty"

And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"

She said, "Ma'am, I sure do thank you

And boy, I sure look pretty"

And then she asked, "Are you God's wife?"
