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 (1)__________________ mood
Standing right in front of me was a (2)____________ boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes (3)________ 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 shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (4)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (5)__________ (6)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these (7)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He (8)______________ pennies for (9)________ seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his (10)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most (11)__________ she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these (12)__________________ shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll (13)__________ 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 (14)__________________ Eve and these (15)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (16)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know (17)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want 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 (18)________ God had sent that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy (19)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (20)________ 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 (21)__________ shoes (22)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look (23)__________________ if (24)________ (25)__________ Jesus tonight
