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 front of me was a (1)____________ boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like 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 (2)________ it (3)________ 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 (4)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, (5)__________ (6)________ there's not (7)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (8)________ her to look (9)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight

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

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the (16)________ on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these (17)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (18)__________ (19)__________ 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 (20)________ these shoes (21)__________ make 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 (22)________ that God had sent (23)________ 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 just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (24)________ time
You see she's (25)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (26)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama (27)__________ Jesus tonight
