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 (3)____________ (4)________ do
And in his (5)__________ he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And (6)________ it (7)________ 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 (8)________ time
You see she's been (9)________ for quite a while
And I (10)________ these shoes would (11)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what (12)____________ like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he (13)____________ and he looked at me
He said Mama made 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 Christmas shoes

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

Sir, I (15)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (16)________ 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 (17)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look (18)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus 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 (19)________ little boy
To remind me what (20)__________________ 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 (21)________ there's not much time
You see she's been (22)________ for quite a while
And I (23)________ (24)__________ shoes would (25)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (26)________ meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if (27)________ meets Jesus tonight
