Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a (2)________ of shoes

And His clothes (3)________ 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 shoes for my Mama, please
It's (4)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (5)________ for quite a while
And I (6)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I (7)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for (8)________ seemed 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 (9)________ Mama (10)________ Christmas (11)________ at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, (12)________ am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the (13)__________ down, I just had to (14)________ him out
I'll never forget the (15)________ on his face (16)________ he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he (24)______________ me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about
