The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

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

And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from 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 (6)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (7)________ there's not (8)________ time
You see she's been sick for (9)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would (10)________ her smile
And I want her to (11)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what (12)____________ like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He (13)________________ his (14)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He (15)________ Mama made (16)__________________ good at our house
Though most years she (17)________ did without
Tell me Sir, (18)________ am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these (19)__________________ shoes

So I (20)________ the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his (21)________ when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I (22)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (23)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (24)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (25)__________ 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 (26)__________ 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 (27)________ her to look (28)__________________ if Mama (29)__________ Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
