The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was (1)____________ Christmas time, (2)__________ I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last 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 (5)______________ what I heard him say

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

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he (9)____________ and he looked at me
He said Mama made (10)__________________ good at our house
Though most (11)__________ she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these (12)__________________ shoes

So I (13)________ the (14)__________ down, I (15)________ had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face (16)________ he said
Mama's gonna (17)________ so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (18)________ 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 Mama (19)__________ Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd (20)____________ a glimpse of heaven's love
As he (21)______________ me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that (22)____________ boy
To remind me what (23)__________________ is all about


Sir, I want to buy (24)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (25)__________ are (26)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, (27)__________ 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 Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
