The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

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

And His clothes were 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 (5)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (6)________ time
You see she's (7)________ sick for quite a while
And I know (8)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for (9)________ seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he (10)____________ and he looked at me
He (11)________ (12)________ 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 (14)__________ (15)__________________ shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll (16)__________ forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna (17)________ so great

Sir, I want to buy (18)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's (19)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (20)__________ 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 (21)________ 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 (22)________ God had sent that little boy
To remind me (23)________ Christmas is all about


Sir, I (24)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (25)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, (26)__________ 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 (27)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama (28)__________ Jesus tonight
