The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last (1)________ or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing (2)__________ in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like (3)____________ 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 (4)________ to pay
I couldn't believe (5)________ I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes 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 been sick for quite a while
And I know (7)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what (8)____________ like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his (9)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made (10)__________________ good at our house
Though most (11)__________ she just did without
Tell me Sir, (12)________ 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 (13)________ him out
I'll never (14)____________ the look on his (15)________ 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, (16)__________ (17)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know (18)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I (19)________ her to look beautiful 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 knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me (20)________ Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy (21)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (22)__________ are (23)________ 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 (24)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (25)__________ tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
