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 (1)____________ boys do
And in his hands he held a (2)________ of shoes

And His (3)______________ 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 (4)________ to buy (5)__________ 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 (8)__________ a while
And I know these shoes (9)__________ (10)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what (11)____________ like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He (12)________________ his pockets frantically
Then he (13)____________ and he looked at me
He said Mama 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 just had to help him out
I'll (14)__________ forget the look on his face (15)________ he said
Mama's (16)__________ (17)________ so great

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

Bridge:
I knew I'd (20)____________ a (21)______________ of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I (22)________ (23)________ 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 (24)__________________ Eve and (25)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (26)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I (27)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I (28)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
