The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was (1)____________ Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that (2)________ 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 boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty (3)________ head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe (4)________ 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 says there's not much time
You see she's been (5)________ for quite a while
And I know these shoes would (6)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (7)________ meets Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for what seemed (8)________ years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he (9)____________ and he (10)____________ at me
He (11)________ Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she (12)________ did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I (13)________ the money down, I just had to help 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 (14)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (15)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (16)________ for (17)__________ a while
And I know these (18)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (19)__________ Jesus tonight
Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent (20)________ 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 (21)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know (22)__________ shoes (23)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (24)________ meets (25)__________ tonight
I want her to look (26)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
