The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I (2)__________ 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 (3)________ do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
And His (4)______________ were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe (5)________ I heard him say
Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (6)__________ 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 (7)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for (8)________ seemed 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 said (9)________ (10)________ (11)__________________ (12)________ at our house
Though (13)________ years she (14)________ did without
Tell me Sir, (15)________ 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 (16)____________ the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great
Sir, I (17)________ to buy these (18)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (19)__________ 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 would (20)________ her smile
And I (21)________ 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 (22)________ God had sent that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (23)__________________ Eve and these shoes are (24)________ 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 (25)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
