The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost (1)__________________ time, there I stood in (2)______________ line
Tryin' to buy that 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 hands he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And (3)________ it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe (4)________ I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I (5)________ 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 (6)__________ (7)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (8)__________ tonight

He counted (9)______________ for what seemed (10)________ years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he (11)____________ and he (12)____________ at me
He (13)________ Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most (14)__________ she (15)________ 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 when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I (16)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (17)__________ 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 (18)__________ (19)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (20)__________ tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd (21)____________ a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I (22)________ that God had sent that little boy
To (23)____________ me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these (24)__________ 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 (25)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I (26)________ her to look beautiful if (27)________ meets Jesus tonight
