The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was (1)____________ 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 front of me was a (2)____________ boy (3)______________ anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he (4)________ a pair 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 Christmas Eve and (5)__________ (6)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (7)________ there's not (8)________ time
You see she's (9)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes (10)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He (11)________________ his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas (12)________ 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 (13)________ the money down, I (14)________ 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 Christmas Eve and (15)__________ (16)__________ 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 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 (17)________ that God had sent that little boy
To (18)____________ me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I (19)________ to buy these (20)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (21)________ 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 (22)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to (23)________ beautiful if (24)________ meets (25)__________ (26)______________
