The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was (1)____________ Christmas time, there I stood in (2)______________ line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing (3)__________ in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his (4)__________ he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes (5)________ (6)________ and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And (7)________ it (8)________ his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I (9)__________ him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (10)__________________ Eve and (11)__________ shoes are (12)________ 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 (13)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (14)__________ Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his (15)______________ frantically
Then he (16)____________ and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I (17)__________ 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 gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these (18)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (19)________ time
You see she's been sick for (20)__________ a while
And I (21)________ these (22)__________ (23)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (24)________ meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I (25)________ I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that (26)____________ boy
To remind me (27)________ Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (28)__________________ Eve and these (29)__________ 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 beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
