The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was (1)____________ (2)__________________ time, (3)__________ 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 (4)______________ anxiously
Pacing 'round (5)________ (6)____________ boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And His (7)______________ were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe (8)________ I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (9)__________ shoes are (10)________ 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 (11)__________ (12)__________ (13)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (14)__________ tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his (15)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas (16)________ 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 Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never (17)____________ the (18)________ on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (19)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (20)________ for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (21)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets (22)__________ tonight

Bridge:
I (23)________ I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I (24)________ that God had sent that little boy
To remind me (25)________ (26)__________________ is all about


Sir, I want to buy (27)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (28)__________ 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 (29)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
