The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was almost Christmas time, there I (1)__________ in another line
Tryin' to buy that (2)________ gift or two, not (3)____________ in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round (4)________ little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
And His clothes (5)________ (6)________ and old, he was dirty (7)________ head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
Chorus:
Sir, I (8)________ 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 make her smile
And I (9)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He (10)______________ pennies for what seemed (11)________ 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, (12)________ am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I laid the (13)__________ 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, (15)__________ 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 (16)________ (17)__________________ 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 (18)________ that God had (19)________ (20)________ little boy
To (21)____________ me what Christmas is all about
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (22)__________________ Eve and these (23)__________ 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 (24)__________ (25)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (26)__________ tonight
I (27)________ her to look beautiful if Mama (28)__________ Jesus tonight
