The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing (2)__________ in front of me was a little boy (3)______________ anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys 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 came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy (5)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's (6)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (7)__________ (8)________ there's not much time
You see she's been (9)________ for (10)__________ a while
And I know these (11)__________ (12)__________ make her smile
And I want her to (13)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for (14)________ seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his (15)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He (16)________ Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most (17)__________ 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 (18)__________ down, I just had to (19)________ him out
I'll never forget the (20)________ on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

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

Bridge:
I knew I'd (24)____________ a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent (25)________ 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 (26)__________ (27)__________ 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 these shoes would make her smile
And I (28)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets (29)__________ tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
