The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was (1)____________ Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last (2)________ 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 (4)________ and old, he was dirty from (5)________ to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I (6)__________ him say
Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (7)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (8)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to (9)________ beautiful if Mama (10)__________ Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for (11)________ (12)____________ (13)________ years
Then the (14)______________ said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He (15)________ Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she (16)________ 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 face (17)________ he said
Mama's gonna look so great
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (18)__________ 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 (19)________ her smile
And I want her to (20)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he (21)______________ me and ran out
I knew that God had sent (22)________ little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about
Sir, I (23)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (24)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for (25)__________ a while
And I know these shoes (26)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
