The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy (2)________ last gift or two, not (3)____________ in the Christmas mood
Standing right in (4)__________ of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round (5)________ little boys 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 (6)________ it came his (7)________ to pay
I couldn't believe (8)________ I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these (9)__________ 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 (10)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these (11)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (12)__________ 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 (13)____________ and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas (14)________ at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, (15)________ am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the (16)__________ down, I just had to help him out
I'll (17)__________ forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna (18)________ so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (19)__________________ Eve and these (20)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (21)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been sick 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

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 (22)____________ me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I (23)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (24)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (25)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (26)__________ tonight
I want her to (27)________ (28)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
