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 (1)__________ of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little (2)________ do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I (3)__________ him say

Chorus:
Sir, I (4)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (5)__________________ Eve and these (6)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (7)________ sick for (8)__________ a while
And I (9)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (10)__________ tonight

He counted (11)______________ for (12)________ seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned 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 (13)__________ to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these (14)__________________ shoes

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

Sir, I (16)________ 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 (17)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (18)________ her to look beautiful 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 (19)________ God had sent (20)________ (21)____________ boy
To (22)____________ me (23)________ 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, (24)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes (25)__________ (26)________ her smile
And I (27)________ her to (28)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
