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 (3)__________ of me was a (4)____________ boy (5)______________ anxiously
Pacing 'round like little (6)________ do
And in his hands he held a (7)________ of shoes

And His clothes (8)________ worn and old, he was dirty (9)________ head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I (10)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (11)__________________ Eve and (12)__________ (13)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (14)________ for quite a while
And I know (15)__________ shoes (16)__________ make her smile
And I want her to (17)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he (18)____________ and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most (19)__________ 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 (20)________ had to (21)________ him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's (22)__________ look so great

Sir, I (23)________ 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 quite a while
And I (24)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (25)__________________ if Mama meets (26)__________ 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 (27)__________________ 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, 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 (28)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
