The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in (1)______________ line
Tryin' to buy (2)________ last gift or two, not really in the (3)__________________ mood
Standing right 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 (5)______________ were worn and old, he was dirty (6)________ head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I (7)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (8)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (9)________ sick for (10)__________ a while
And I (11)________ (12)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to (13)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his (14)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he (15)____________ at me
He (16)________ Mama 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 (17)________ 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 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 sick for quite a while
And I (18)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to (19)________ (20)__________________ if (21)________ meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I (22)________ I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that (23)____________ 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 (24)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (25)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes (26)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (27)________ meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
