The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost (1)__________________ 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 (2)__________ he held a (3)________ of shoes

And His (4)______________ were worn and old, he was (5)__________ from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't (6)______________ what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I (7)________ to buy these (8)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (9)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been (10)________ for quite a while
And I know (11)__________ shoes would (12)________ her smile
And I (13)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted (14)______________ for what (15)____________ 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 (16)________ made Christmas good at our house
Though most 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 money down, I (17)________ had to help him out
I'll (18)__________ 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 (19)__________________ Eve and these (20)__________ 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 (21)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (22)__________ 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 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 Christmas Eve and (23)__________ 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 (24)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look (25)__________________ if Mama (26)__________ Jesus tonight
