The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I (2)__________ in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a (3)____________ boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like (4)____________ boys do
And in his hands he (5)________ a pair of shoes

And His clothes were worn and old, he was (6)__________ from 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 (8)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (9)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (10)________ there's not (11)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would (12)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted (13)______________ for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He (14)________________ his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he (15)____________ at me
He said Mama made Christmas (16)________ at our house
Though (17)________ (18)__________ 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 just had to help him out
I'll never (19)____________ the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna (20)________ so great

Sir, I (21)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (22)__________________ 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 want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he (23)______________ me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To (24)____________ me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (25)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (26)________ for quite a while
And I know (27)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (28)________ meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (29)__________ tonight
