The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy (1)________ last gift or two, not (2)____________ in the Christmas mood
Standing (3)__________ in (4)__________ 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 (5)________ 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 Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (6)________ 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 (7)__________________ if (8)________ (9)__________ Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what (10)____________ like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He (11)________________ his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said (12)________ made Christmas good at our house
Though (13)________ years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I (14)__________ to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to (15)________ him out
I'll never forget the look on his (16)________ when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy (17)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (18)__________ (19)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (20)__________ says there's not (21)________ time
You see she's been (22)________ for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to (23)________ beautiful if Mama (24)__________ Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about


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, (25)__________ says there's not (26)________ 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
I want her to look beautiful if (27)________ meets (28)__________ tonight
