The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood 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 (1)________ little (2)________ do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from (3)________ to toe
And when it (4)________ his (5)________ to pay
I couldn't (6)______________ (7)________ 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, (8)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's (9)________ sick for quite a while
And I know (10)__________ shoes would (11)________ her smile
And I (12)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not (13)____________ here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though (14)________ years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her (15)__________ Christmas shoes

So I (16)________ the money down, I just had to (17)________ him out
I'll never forget the look on his face (18)________ he said
Mama's gonna 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 (19)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I (20)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (21)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a (22)______________ of heaven's love
As he thanked 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 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 (23)__________ a while
And I know these shoes (24)__________ make her smile
And I (25)________ her to look beautiful if (26)________ meets Jesus tonight
I (27)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
