The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the (2)__________________ mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he (3)________ a pair of shoes

And His (4)______________ were (5)________ and old, he was dirty (6)________ head to toe
And when it came his (7)________ to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

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

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the (11)______________ 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 (12)________ (13)__________ she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her (14)__________ Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll (15)__________ forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna (16)________ 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 says there's not (17)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these (18)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I (19)________ I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had (20)________ (21)________ little boy
To remind 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 (24)________ time
You see she's (25)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (26)__________ Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if (27)________ meets Jesus tonight
