The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was (1)____________ Christmas time, there 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 (3)____________ boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
And His (4)______________ (5)________ worn and old, he was dirty from head 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 these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (6)__________ 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 would make her smile
And I want her to (9)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He (10)______________ pennies for what seemed like years
Then the (11)______________ said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he (12)____________ at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though (13)________ 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 just had to help him out
I'll never (14)____________ the (15)________ on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great
Sir, I (16)________ to buy these (17)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (18)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for (19)__________ a while
And I (20)________ these shoes 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 knew (21)________ 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 (22)________ 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 (23)__________ shoes would (24)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (25)__________ Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama (26)__________ (27)__________ (28)______________
