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 (1)__________ 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 worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came 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 (3)__________________ Eve and these shoes are (4)________ 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 (5)________ these (6)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to (7)________ (8)__________________ if (9)________ meets (10)__________ tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he (11)____________ at me
He said (12)________ made Christmas (13)________ at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, (14)________ am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these (15)__________________ 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 want to buy these (16)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (17)__________ 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 look (18)__________________ 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 that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about


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