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 (1)____________ in the Christmas mood
Standing (2)__________ in (3)__________ of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes (4)________ worn and old, he was (5)__________ from (6)________ to toe
And when 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 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 (8)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He (9)______________ pennies for what (10)____________ like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not (11)____________ here
He searched his (12)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though (13)________ years she (14)________ did without
Tell me Sir, what am I (15)__________ to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these (16)__________________ shoes

So I laid the money down, I just 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 (17)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas 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 (19)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to (20)________ (21)__________________ 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 (22)________ 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 (23)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (24)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's (25)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (26)________ her to look beautiful if (27)________ meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama (28)__________ Jesus tonight
