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 waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his (3)__________ he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from (4)________ to toe
And (5)________ 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 (6)__________ (7)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for (8)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (9)________ meets Jesus tonight

He counted (10)______________ for what (11)____________ like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not (12)____________ here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he (13)____________ at me
He said Mama made Christmas good 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 laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his (14)________ when he said
Mama's (15)__________ look so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (16)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (17)________ for quite a while
And I (18)________ (19)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I (20)________ her to look beautiful if (21)________ meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew (22)________ God had (23)________ 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 (24)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would (25)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (26)__________ Jesus tonight
I (27)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets (28)__________ tonight
