The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost (1)__________________ time, (2)__________ 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 (3)______________ anxiously
Pacing 'round (4)________ little boys 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 (5)________ it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I (6)__________ him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these (7)__________ for my Mama, please
It's (8)__________________ 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 (9)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not (10)____________ here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama (11)________ Christmas (12)________ 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 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 want to buy these (15)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (16)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's (17)________ (18)________ for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (19)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I (20)________ I'd (21)____________ 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 (23)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (24)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I (25)________ these (26)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to (27)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus (28)______________
