The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

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

And His clothes (5)________ worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it (6)________ his time to pay
I couldn't believe (7)________ I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy (8)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's (9)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (10)__________ 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

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

So I laid the money down, I (16)________ 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 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 (17)________ time
You see she's been (18)________ for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (19)__________________ if Mama (20)__________ Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a (21)______________ of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew (22)________ God had (23)________ that little boy
To (24)____________ me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (25)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (26)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's (27)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (28)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to (29)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
