The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was (1)____________ Christmas time, there I (2)__________ 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 (3)______________ anxiously
Pacing 'round (4)________ little boys 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 (6)________ it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I (7)__________ him say

Chorus:
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 been sick for quite a while
And I know these (8)__________ (9)__________ make her smile
And I (10)________ her to (11)________ beautiful if Mama meets (12)__________ tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he (13)____________ at me
He said Mama (14)________ Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I (15)__________ to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her (16)__________ (17)__________________ shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his (18)________ 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, (19)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know (20)__________ shoes would make 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 thanked me and ran out
I (21)________ that God had (22)________ that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about


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 (23)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to (24)________ beautiful if Mama (25)__________ Jesus tonight
I want her to (26)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
