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 (1)____________ 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 (2)________ of shoes
And His clothes were 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 (3)________ 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 (4)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these (5)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (6)__________ Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for what (7)____________ like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not (8)____________ here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said (9)________ (10)________ 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 (11)__________________ shoes
So I laid the money down, I just had to (12)________ 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 (13)__________________ Eve and (14)__________ (15)__________ 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 (16)________ (17)__________ (18)__________ tonight
Bridge:
I (19)________ I'd (20)____________ a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent (21)________ little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about
Sir, I (22)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (23)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (24)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (25)__________________ if Mama (26)__________ Jesus tonight
I (27)________ her to (28)________ beautiful if Mama meets (29)__________ tonight
