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 held a pair of shoes

And His clothes were worn and old, he was (1)__________ (2)________ head to toe
And (3)________ 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 these (4)__________ 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 (5)________ these shoes would (6)________ her smile
And I want her to look (7)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight

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

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never (12)____________ the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these (13)__________ for my Mama, please
It's (14)__________________ 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 shoes would make her smile
And I want her to (15)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd (16)____________ a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had (17)________ that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I (18)________ to buy (19)__________ (20)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (21)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (22)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been (23)________ for quite a while
And I know (24)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I (25)________ her to look (26)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama (27)__________ Jesus tonight
