The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in (1)__________ of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little (2)________ do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And (3)________ it came his (4)________ to pay
I couldn't (5)______________ what I heard him say
Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (6)________ 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 want her to (7)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for what seemed (8)________ years
Then the (9)______________ said, Son, there's not (10)____________ here
He searched his (11)______________ 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 these Christmas shoes
So I laid 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 (12)________ so great
Sir, I want to buy these (13)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (14)__________ 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 (15)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (16)__________________ if Mama meets (17)__________ tonight
Bridge:
I (18)________ I'd caught a (19)______________ of heaven's love
As he (20)______________ me and ran out
I knew that God had (21)________ that little boy
To remind me (22)________ Christmas is all about
Sir, I want to buy (23)__________ (24)__________ for my Mama, please
It's (25)__________________ Eve and these shoes are (26)________ 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 want her to look beautiful if (27)________ meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus (28)______________
