The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I (2)__________ 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 (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 time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these (4)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (5)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (6)________ there's not (7)________ 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 look beautiful 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 (8)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas (9)________ 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 laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his (10)________ (11)________ he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (12)__________________ Eve and (13)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (14)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I (15)________ these (16)__________ would make her smile
And I (17)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I (18)________ I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew (19)________ God had sent that (20)____________ boy
To (21)____________ me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I (22)________ to buy these (23)__________ 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 (24)________ for quite a while
And I (25)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (26)________ meets (27)__________ tonight
I want her to look (28)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
