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 (1)__________ in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes (2)________ worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't (3)______________ 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 just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (4)________ time
You see she's been sick for (5)__________ a while
And I (6)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted (7)______________ for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he (8)____________ at me
He (9)________ (10)________ made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I (11)__________ to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I (12)________ the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the (13)________ on his face (14)________ he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (15)__________________ Eve and (16)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (17)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these (18)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to (19)________ (20)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus 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 (22)____________ boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I (23)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (24)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been (25)________ for (26)__________ a while
And I know these (27)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (28)__________ tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (29)__________ (30)______________
