The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was (1)____________ Christmas time, there I (2)__________ in (3)______________ line
Tryin' to buy (4)________ 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 (5)____________ boys do
And in his hands he (6)________ a pair of shoes

And His clothes (7)________ worn and old, he was dirty (8)________ head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (9)__________ shoes are (10)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, (11)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes (12)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (13)________ meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for (14)________ seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not (15)____________ here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama (16)________ 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

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
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 (17)__________________ 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 (18)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (19)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
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 (20)____________ me (21)________ Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (22)__________ shoes are (23)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (24)________ sick for quite a while
And I (25)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (26)________ (27)__________ Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama (28)__________ Jesus tonight
