The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was (1)____________ (2)__________________ time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that 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 little boys do
And in his hands he (3)________ a (4)________ of shoes

And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from (5)________ to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe (6)________ I heard him say

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

He counted pennies for what (10)____________ like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He (11)________ (12)________ made (13)__________________ good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I (14)__________ to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her (15)__________ Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his (16)________ when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

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, (17)__________ says there's not (18)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (19)________ her to look beautiful if (20)________ meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd (21)____________ a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To (22)____________ me what (23)__________________ is all about


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, (24)__________ says there's not (25)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (26)________ her to (27)________ beautiful if Mama (28)__________ Jesus tonight
I want her to look (29)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
