The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that (2)________ (3)________ or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round (4)________ little boys do
And in his (5)__________ he held a (6)________ of shoes

And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And (7)________ it came his (8)________ to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I (9)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (10)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (11)__________ says there's not (12)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (13)________ 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 (14)____________ here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He (15)________ Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I (16)________ the (17)__________ down, I just had to help him out
I'll never (18)____________ the (19)________ on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

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, (20)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's (21)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (22)________ 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 sent that little boy
To (23)____________ me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I (24)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (25)________ there's not (26)________ 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 (27)________ beautiful if Mama meets (28)__________ tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
