The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that (2)________ gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in (3)__________ of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round (4)________ 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

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (5)__________________ Eve and (6)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (7)________ sick for (8)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (9)________ meets Jesus tonight

He (10)______________ pennies for what (11)____________ like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not (12)____________ here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though (13)________ 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 (14)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (15)__________________ Eve and these (16)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (17)________ time
You see she's been (18)________ for quite a while
And I know (19)__________ shoes (20)__________ make her smile
And I want 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 (21)________ little boy
To (22)____________ me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these (23)__________ 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 (24)________ for quite a while
And I (25)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (26)__________________ if Mama (27)__________ Jesus tonight
I want her to look (28)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
