The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was (1)____________ Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that (2)________ gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little (3)________ do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from (4)________ to toe
And when it (5)________ his time 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 (6)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (7)________ for (8)__________ a while
And I know (9)__________ shoes (10)__________ make her smile
And I want her to (11)________ beautiful if Mama meets (12)__________ tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the (13)______________ said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama (14)________ Christmas good at our house
Though (15)________ years she just did without
Tell me Sir, (16)________ 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 (17)__________ (18)____________ the look on his (19)________ when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these (20)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (21)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (22)________ 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 (23)__________________ is all about


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, (24)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for (25)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (26)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look (27)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus (28)______________
