The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

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

And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty (6)________ head to toe
And (7)________ it (8)________ his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I (9)__________ him say

Chorus:
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, (10)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for (11)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (12)__________________ if Mama meets (13)__________ tonight

He (14)______________ pennies for what seemed (15)________ 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 (16)__________________ 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 laid the money down, I (17)________ 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 (18)________ to buy these shoes 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 been sick for quite a while
And I know these (19)__________ 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 (20)________ that God had sent that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy (21)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (22)__________ 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 (23)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama (24)__________ (25)__________ tonight
