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 (1)________ a pair of shoes

And His clothes (2)________ worn and old, he was dirty (3)________ (4)________ to toe
And when it (5)________ his (6)________ to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I (7)________ to buy (8)__________ 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 (9)__________ shoes (10)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (11)__________ tonight

He (12)______________ pennies for (13)________ (14)____________ 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 Mama made Christmas (15)________ at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, (16)________ am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll (17)__________ 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, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know (18)__________ (19)__________ would make her smile
And I (20)________ her to (21)________ (22)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I (23)________ that God had sent that little boy
To remind me what (24)__________________ is all about


Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (25)__________________ 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 (26)__________ would (27)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (28)__________ tonight
