The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy (1)________ last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in (2)__________ of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his (3)__________ he held a pair of shoes
And His clothes (4)________ 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 Christmas Eve and these (5)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (6)__________ (7)________ there's not (8)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these (9)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look (10)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He counted (11)______________ for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He (12)________________ his (13)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said (14)________ made Christmas (15)________ at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, (16)________ am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I laid the money down, I just had to (17)________ 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 (18)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these (19)__________ (20)__________ make her smile
And I (21)________ her to (22)________ (23)__________________ if Mama meets (24)__________ 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 (25)________ that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about
Sir, I (26)________ 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 much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these (27)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to (28)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
Tryin' to buy (1)________ last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in (2)__________ of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
