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 (2)__________________ mood
Standing (3)__________ in (4)__________ 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 (5)________ worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I (6)__________ him say
Chorus:
Sir, I (7)________ 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 (8)________ for quite a while
And I know (9)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to (10)________ 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 searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he (12)____________ at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I (13)__________ 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 never 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 Christmas Eve and (14)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (15)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (16)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
Bridge:
I knew I'd (17)____________ a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had (18)________ that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about
Sir, I want to buy (19)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's (20)__________________ Eve and (21)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (22)________ for quite a while

And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (25)__________ tonight
I want her to look (26)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
