The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, there I (1)__________ in (2)______________ line
Tryin' to buy (3)________ last (4)________ or two, not (5)____________ in the (6)__________________ mood
Standing right in (7)__________ 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 were (8)________ 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 shoes 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 (9)________ (10)__________ shoes would (11)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted (12)______________ for (13)________ seemed (14)________ years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made (15)__________________ good at our house
Though most years she (16)________ did without
Tell me Sir, what am I (17)__________ 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 (18)________ so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (19)__________ shoes are (20)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (21)________ 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 Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent (22)________ 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 just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time

And I know these shoes (24)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (25)__________ tonight
