The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I (2)__________ in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift 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 (3)__________ he held a (4)________ of shoes

And His (5)______________ were worn and old, he was (6)__________ (7)________ 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 (8)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (9)________ 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 beautiful if Mama (10)__________ Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his (11)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama (12)________ Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these (13)__________________ shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never (14)____________ the look on his (15)________ when he said
Mama's gonna (16)________ so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (17)__________________ Eve and these (18)__________ 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 (19)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he (20)______________ 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 (21)__________ for my Mama, please
It's (22)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (23)__________ 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 (24)________ her to look (25)__________________ if Mama meets (26)__________ tonight
I (27)________ her to look beautiful if Mama (28)__________ Jesus (29)______________
