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 little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes were worn and old, he was (2)__________ from (3)________ to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I (4)__________ him say

Chorus:
Sir, I (5)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (6)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (7)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I (8)________ these (9)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for (10)________ seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he (11)____________ and he (12)____________ at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though (13)________ years she (14)________ did without
Tell me Sir, what am I (15)__________ 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 face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these (16)__________ for my Mama, please
It's (17)__________________ 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 (18)__________ a while
And I know these shoes (19)__________ (20)________ 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 (21)______________ me and ran out
I knew (22)________ God had sent that (23)____________ boy
To (24)____________ me what (25)__________________ is all about


Sir, I want to buy these (26)__________ 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 would (27)________ her smile
And I want her to (28)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
