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 (1)__________________ mood
Standing right in (2)__________ of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round (3)________ little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And His (4)______________ were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And (5)________ it (6)________ 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 shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (7)________ 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 (8)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the (9)______________ said, Son, there's not enough here
He (10)________________ his pockets frantically
Then he (11)____________ and he looked at me
He (12)________ Mama (13)________ Christmas good at our house
Though (14)________ years she (15)________ did without
Tell me Sir, (16)________ am I (17)__________ to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her (18)__________ (19)__________________ shoes

So I laid the (20)__________ down, I just had to help him out
I'll never 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 (21)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (22)________ for quite a while
And I know 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 (23)________ God had sent that little boy
To remind me what (24)__________________ is all about


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