The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas 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 hands he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes (1)________ worn and old, he was dirty (2)________ (3)________ to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy (4)__________ 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 (5)________ for quite a while
And I know (6)__________ (7)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to (8)________ beautiful if Mama meets (9)__________ tonight

He counted (10)______________ for what (11)____________ like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his (12)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he (13)____________ at me
He (14)________ Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most (15)__________ 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 (16)__________ down, I (17)________ had to help him out
I'll never forget the (18)________ 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 shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (20)________ for (21)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (22)__________________ if Mama (23)__________ (24)__________ 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 these shoes are (25)________ 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 (26)________ her smile
And I (27)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look (28)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
