The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy (1)________ last (2)________ or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy (3)______________ 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 (4)________ it came his (5)________ to pay
I couldn't believe (6)________ I heard him say

Chorus:
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 much time
You see she's been (7)________ for quite a while
And I know (8)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (9)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for (10)________ (11)____________ like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He (12)________________ his (13)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He (14)________ 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 (15)__________ Christmas shoes

So I laid the (16)__________ 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 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 much time
You see she's (17)________ sick for (18)__________ a while
And I know these shoes (19)__________ make her smile
And I want her to (20)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

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


Sir, I want to buy (23)__________ 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 (24)________ these shoes (25)__________ make her smile
And I (26)________ her to (27)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
