The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ 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 (3)____________ boy waiting 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 (4)________ head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I (5)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (6)__________ (7)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (8)________ 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 (9)________ her to (10)________ (11)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He (12)______________ (13)______________ for what (14)____________ 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 said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her (15)__________ 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 shoes are (20)________ 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 (23)__________ Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he (24)______________ 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 Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (25)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's (26)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (27)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to (28)________ beautiful if (29)________ meets Jesus tonight
