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 (1)__________________ mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his (2)__________ he held a (3)________ 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 (4)________ I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (5)________ 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 (6)________ her smile
And I (7)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He (8)________ Mama made (9)__________________ good at our house
Though (10)________ (11)__________ she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her (12)__________ (13)__________________ shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll (14)__________ forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these (15)__________ for my Mama, please
It's (16)__________________ Eve and these (17)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (18)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for (19)__________ a while
And I (20)________ these 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 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 (21)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (22)________ time
You see she's been (23)________ for (24)__________ a while
And I know these shoes (25)__________ (26)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to (27)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
