The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, there I (1)__________ in another line
Tryin' to buy that last (2)________ or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he (3)________ a pair 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 shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (4)__________ are (5)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (6)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know (7)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (8)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted (9)______________ for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He (10)________________ his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she (11)________ 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 forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna (12)________ so great

Sir, I want to buy these (13)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (14)__________ (15)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (16)________ for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (17)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets (18)__________ tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he (19)______________ me and ran out
I knew that God had (20)________ that little boy
To (21)____________ me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (22)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (23)________ 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 (24)________ beautiful if Mama (25)__________ Jesus tonight
I (26)________ her to look beautiful if (27)________ (28)__________ Jesus tonight
