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 (3)____________ in the Christmas mood
Standing (4)__________ in front of me was a (5)____________ boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little 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 (6)________ his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I (7)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (8)__________________ Eve and these (9)__________ 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 (10)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He (11)______________ pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He (12)________________ 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 (13)________ the (14)__________ down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's (15)__________ look so great

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 (16)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know (17)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want 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 that God had (19)________ that little boy
To remind me (20)________ Christmas is all about


Sir, I (21)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (22)__________ 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 (23)________ these (24)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look (25)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to (26)________ beautiful if Mama (27)__________ Jesus tonight
