The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in (1)______________ line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the (2)__________________ mood
Standing (3)__________ in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes (4)________ worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And (5)________ it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

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

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

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his (15)________ when he said
Mama's (16)__________ (17)________ so great

Sir, I want to buy these (18)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (19)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to (20)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd (21)____________ a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I (22)________ that God had sent that little boy
To (23)____________ me what Christmas 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, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (24)________ meets (25)__________ tonight
I want her to (26)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
