The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was (1)____________ 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 (2)____________ 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 when it (3)________ his time to pay
I couldn't believe (4)________ I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (5)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (6)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes (7)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (8)________ meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for (9)________ seemed like years
Then the (10)______________ said, Son, there's not (11)____________ here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He (12)________ Mama made Christmas good 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 (14)__________________ shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his (15)________ when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (16)__________________ Eve and (17)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (18)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these (19)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (20)________ 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 (21)________ that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy (22)__________ 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 (23)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these (24)__________ would make her smile
And I (25)________ her to look (26)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus (27)______________
