The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in (1)______________ line
Tryin' to buy (2)________ 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 held a pair of shoes
And His clothes were worn and old, he was (4)__________ from head to toe
And when it came his (5)________ to pay
I couldn't believe (6)________ I heard him say
Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these (7)__________ 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 (8)__________ would (9)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He counted (10)______________ for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He (11)________________ 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 money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna (13)________ so great
Sir, I want to buy these (14)__________ 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 (15)__________ would (16)________ her smile
And I (17)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a (18)______________ of heaven's love
As he (19)______________ me and ran out
I (20)________ that God had sent that (21)____________ boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about
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 (22)________ time
You see she's been (23)________ for (24)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (25)________ meets (26)__________ tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama (27)__________ (28)__________ tonight
