The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost (1)__________________ time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last (2)________ or two, not (3)____________ in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a (4)____________ boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like (5)____________ boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes (6)________ worn and old, he was (7)__________ from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I (8)________ to buy these (9)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (10)________ 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 (11)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I (12)________ her to look (13)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He (14)______________ pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not (15)____________ here
He (16)________________ his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He (17)________ 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 these Christmas shoes

So I (18)________ the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look 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 (19)__________ shoes 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 (20)________ her to look beautiful if (21)________ meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I (22)________ that God had (23)________ that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy (24)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's (25)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (26)________ time
You see she's been 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 look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
