The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was almost (1)__________________ time, (2)__________ I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy (3)________ 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 (4)____________ boys do
And in his hands he held a (5)________ of shoes
And His (6)______________ were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe (7)________ I heard 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 (8)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these (9)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to (10)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the (11)______________ said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama (12)________ 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 just had to help him out
I'll (13)__________ forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's (14)__________ look so great
Sir, I want to buy (15)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (16)__________ 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 (17)________ 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 (18)________ that God had sent that little boy
To (19)____________ me (20)________ Christmas is all about
Sir, I (21)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (22)__________ shoes are (23)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (24)________ for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (25)__________ tonight
I (26)________ her to look beautiful if (27)________ (28)__________ Jesus tonight
