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 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 (2)________ of shoes

And His (3)______________ were worn and old, he was dirty from 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 (5)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for (6)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (7)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets (8)__________ tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the (9)______________ said, Son, there's not (10)____________ here
He (11)________________ his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He (12)________ Mama made (13)__________________ good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I (14)__________ to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the (15)__________ down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his (16)________ when he said
Mama's (17)__________ look so great

Sir, I (18)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (19)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been (20)________ for quite a while
And I know these (21)__________ (22)__________ (23)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I (24)________ 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 Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (25)__________________ 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 (26)__________ (27)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
