The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost (1)__________________ time, (2)__________ 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 (3)__________ he (4)________ 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 shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas 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 (5)________ her smile
And I (6)________ her to look beautiful if (7)________ meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what (8)____________ (9)________ years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned 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 (10)________ the (11)__________ down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his (12)________ when he said
Mama's (13)__________ look so great

Sir, I (14)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (15)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (16)________ time
You see she's (17)________ (18)________ for (19)__________ 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 caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he (20)______________ me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that (21)____________ boy
To remind me (22)________ Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy (23)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas 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 (24)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I (25)________ her to (26)________ (27)__________________ if Mama (28)__________ Jesus tonight
