The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last (2)________ or two, not really in the (3)__________________ mood
Standing right in (4)__________ of me was a little boy (5)______________ 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 (6)________ head to toe
And when it came his time 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 (7)__________________ Eve and (8)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (9)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I (10)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (11)__________ tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the (12)______________ said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He (13)________ (14)________ made Christmas good at our house
Though most (15)__________ 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 laid the money down, I (16)________ had to (17)________ him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when 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 (19)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I (20)________ (21)________ God had (22)________ that little boy
To (23)____________ me what (24)__________________ is all about


Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (25)________ 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 (26)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I (27)________ her to (28)________ beautiful if Mama meets (29)__________ tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
