The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was (1)____________ Christmas time, (2)__________ 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 (3)____________ boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round (4)________ little boys do
And in his (5)__________ he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And (6)________ 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 (7)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (8)________ for quite a while
And I (9)________ (10)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted (11)______________ for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he (12)____________ and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I (13)__________ 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 (14)____________ the look on his face when he said
Mama's (15)__________ look so great

Sir, I (16)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (17)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (18)________ (19)________ for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (20)________ meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I (21)________ that God had sent (22)________ (23)____________ 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, (24)__________ 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 (25)________ her to look (26)__________________ if (27)________ meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (28)__________ tonight
