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 little 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 (1)__________ from head to toe
And when it (2)________ 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 (4)__________ shoes are (5)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (6)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would (7)________ her smile
And I (8)________ her to look beautiful if (9)________ (10)__________ (11)__________ tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier 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 most years she (13)________ did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her (14)__________ (15)__________________ shoes

So I laid the (16)__________ 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 (17)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's (18)__________________ Eve and (19)__________ 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 shoes would 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 knew (20)________ God had sent that little boy
To (21)____________ me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (22)__________ 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 (23)________ these shoes would (24)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if (25)________ meets Jesus tonight
