The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that (1)________ gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in (2)__________ 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 were (3)________ and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it (4)________ his time to pay
I couldn't (5)______________ (6)________ I heard him say
Chorus:
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 (7)__________ a while
And I know (8)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (9)__________________ if Mama meets (10)__________ tonight
He counted (11)______________ for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not (12)____________ here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he (13)____________ and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though (14)________ 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 (15)__________ 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 Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (16)__________ says there's not (17)________ 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 (18)________ meets (19)__________ 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 (20)________ (21)________ little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about
Sir, I want to buy these (22)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (23)________ 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 Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to (24)________ (25)__________________ if Mama (26)__________ Jesus (27)______________
