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 (1)____________ in the (2)__________________ mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round (3)________ (4)____________ 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 believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these (5)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (6)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (7)________ 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 (9)______________ for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He (10)________________ his pockets frantically
Then he (11)____________ and he looked at me
He said (12)________ made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she (13)________ did without
Tell me Sir, (14)________ am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these (15)__________________ shoes

So I laid the money 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 (16)__________ 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 make her smile
And I (17)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd (18)____________ a (19)______________ of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I (20)________ 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 (21)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (22)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to (23)________ (24)__________________ if (25)________ meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if (26)________ meets Jesus tonight
