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 really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round (1)________ little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes were (2)________ 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 (4)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (5)________ for quite a while
And I know (6)__________ shoes (7)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (8)__________ Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the (9)______________ said, Son, there's not (10)____________ here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though (11)________ 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 (12)________ the (13)__________ down, I just 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 (14)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (15)________ there's not (16)________ time
You see she's (17)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these (18)__________ would make her smile
And I (19)________ her to (20)________ beautiful if (21)________ meets (22)__________ tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he (23)______________ me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about


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