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 right in front 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 (3)________ and old, he was dirty from (4)________ to toe
And (5)________ it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

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

He counted (10)______________ for (11)________ 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 (12)________ 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 (13)__________ down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the (14)________ on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I (15)________ to buy these (16)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (17)________ there's not much time
You see she's (18)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would (19)________ her smile
And I want 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 that God had (20)________ 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 (21)________ 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 (22)________ these shoes would (23)________ her smile
And I want her to look (24)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I (25)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets (26)__________ tonight
