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 (2)______________ anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair 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 (5)__________ him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (6)__________ shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (7)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these (8)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to (9)________ (10)__________________ if Mama (11)__________ 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 (13)____________ and he (14)____________ at me
He said (15)________ made 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 never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's (16)__________ (17)________ so great

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

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a (24)______________ of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that (25)____________ boy
To remind me (26)________ Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (27)________ 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 beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
