The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I stood in (2)______________ line
Tryin' to buy (3)________ last gift or two, not (4)____________ in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a (5)____________ boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he (6)________ 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 (7)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (8)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for (9)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (10)__________ tonight
He counted pennies for what (11)____________ like 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 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 (12)__________ Christmas shoes
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never (13)____________ 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 these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (14)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been (15)________ for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (16)________ her to look (17)__________________ if Mama (18)__________ (19)__________ tonight
Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a (20)______________ of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that (21)____________ boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about
Sir, I (22)________ to buy (23)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (24)__________ 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 (25)________ (26)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to (27)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
Tryin' to buy (3)________ last gift or two, not (4)____________ in the Christmas mood
