The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing (2)__________ in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like (3)____________ boys do
And in his (4)__________ 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 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 (6)________ for (7)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He (8)______________ (9)______________ for (10)________ seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He (11)________ Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she (12)________ 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 (13)__________ down, I just had to help him out
I'll (14)__________ forget the (15)________ on his face (16)________ he said
Mama's (17)__________ look so great

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 (18)________ for quite a while
And I know these shoes would (19)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a (20)______________ of heaven's love
As he (21)______________ me and ran out
I knew that God had sent (22)________ little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (23)__________________ Eve and (24)__________ 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 (25)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (26)________ meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus (27)______________
