The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not (2)____________ in the Christmas mood
Standing (3)__________ in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little (4)________ 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 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 Christmas Eve and (6)__________ shoes are (7)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (8)________ for quite a while
And I know (9)__________ shoes would (10)________ her smile
And I (11)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for (12)________ 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 said Mama (13)________ 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 (14)__________________ shoes

So I laid 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 (15)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (16)__________ 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 shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (17)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd (18)____________ 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 (19)__________________ is all about


Sir, I want to buy these (20)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (21)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, (22)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been (23)________ for (24)__________ a while
And I (25)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to (26)________ (27)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus (28)______________
