The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I (2)__________ in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little (3)________ 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 (5)______________ what I (6)__________ 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, Daddy (7)________ there's not much time
You see she's been (8)________ for quite a while
And I know these shoes (9)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (10)__________ Jesus tonight

He (11)______________ pennies for what seemed like years
Then the (12)______________ said, Son, there's not enough here
He (13)________________ his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He (14)________ 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 laid the money down, I (15)________ had to help him out
I'll (16)__________ 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 these shoes are (17)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (18)________ for quite a while
And I know these shoes would (19)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (20)__________ tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd (21)____________ a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me (22)________ Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy (23)__________ 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 (24)________ 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 (25)________ meets (26)__________ tonight
I (27)________ her to look beautiful if Mama (28)__________ Jesus tonight
