The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not (1)____________ in the Christmas mood
Standing (2)__________ in front of me was a (3)____________ boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like (4)____________ boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
And His clothes were (5)________ and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his (6)________ to pay
I couldn't (7)______________ what I heard him say
Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (8)__________________ Eve and (9)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (10)________ sick for quite a while
And I know (11)__________ shoes (12)__________ make her smile
And I (13)________ her to look beautiful if (14)________ meets Jesus tonight
He counted (15)______________ for what seemed like years
Then the (16)______________ said, Son, there's not (17)____________ here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He (18)________ 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 (19)________ had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's (20)__________ 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, (21)__________ says there's not much 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
Bridge:
I (22)________ I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me what (23)__________________ is all about
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (24)__________________ Eve and these shoes are (25)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (26)________ there's not much time
You see she's been (27)________ for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (28)__________ tonight
I want her to look (29)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
