The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was (1)____________ Christmas time, there I (2)__________ in another line
Tryin' to buy that (3)________ gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a (4)____________ boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little (5)________ do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his (6)________ to pay
I couldn't (7)______________ what I heard him say
Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy (8)__________ (9)__________ for my Mama, please
It's (10)__________________ Eve and these (11)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (12)________ sick for (13)__________ a while
And I know (14)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (15)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He (16)______________ pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his (17)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most (18)__________ 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 laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face (19)________ he said
Mama's gonna look so great
Sir, I (20)________ to buy these (21)__________ 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 (22)__________ shoes would 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 (23)________ God had sent (24)________ little boy
To remind me what (25)__________________ is all about
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (26)__________ 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 (27)__________ (28)__________ would make her smile
And I (29)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets (30)__________ tonight
