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 right in front of me was a (3)____________ boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
And His (4)______________ were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his (5)________ 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 (6)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (7)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I (8)________ these shoes would (9)________ her smile
And I want her to look (10)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for what (11)____________ like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his (12)______________ frantically
Then he (13)____________ and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, (14)________ 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 (15)________ on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great
Sir, I want to buy (16)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (17)__________ (18)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (19)________ for quite a while
And I know (20)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (21)__________ 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 (22)________ little boy
To (23)____________ me what Christmas is all about
Sir, I (24)________ 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 sick for (25)__________ a while
And I know (26)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (27)__________ tonight
I want her to (28)________ beautiful if Mama meets (29)__________ tonight
