The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I (2)__________ in another line
Tryin' to buy (3)________ (4)________ gift or two, not really in the (5)__________________ mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round (6)________ little boys do
And in his hands he (7)________ a pair of shoes

And His clothes (8)________ worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And (9)________ it came his (10)________ to pay
I couldn't (11)______________ what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy (12)__________ 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 (13)________ sick for (14)__________ a while
And I know these (15)__________ would 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 (16)____________ here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said (17)________ made Christmas good at our house
Though most (18)__________ 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 laid the (19)__________ down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's (20)__________ look so great

Sir, I want to buy these (21)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (22)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (23)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these (24)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (25)__________ 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 that 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
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes (26)__________ make her smile
And I (27)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets (28)__________ tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
