The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost (1)__________________ time, (2)__________ I stood in (3)______________ 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 like (4)____________ boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes (5)________ worn and old, he was dirty (6)________ head to toe
And when it came his (7)________ 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 shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (8)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I (9)________ (10)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (11)__________ Jesus tonight

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

So I laid the money down, I just had to (16)________ him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna (17)________ so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (18)__________________ Eve and (19)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (20)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes (21)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama 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 (22)________ 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 these shoes are (23)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (24)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know (25)__________ (26)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (27)__________ Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
