The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in (1)______________ line
Tryin' to buy (2)________ (3)________ 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 (4)________ do
And in his hands he (5)________ a pair of shoes

And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it (6)________ his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I (7)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (8)__________ says there's not (9)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes 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 enough here
He searched his (10)______________ frantically
Then he (11)____________ and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though (12)________ 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 (14)__________ down, I just had to (15)________ 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 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 (16)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (17)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he (18)______________ me and ran out
I knew that God had (19)________ that little boy
To remind me (20)________ Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (21)__________________ Eve and (22)__________ (23)__________ are (24)________ 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 (25)__________ (26)__________ (27)__________ (28)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
