The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was (1)____________ Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing (2)__________ in (3)__________ 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 (5)________ worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it (6)________ 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 these shoes are (7)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (8)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes (9)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (10)________ meets Jesus tonight

He counted (11)______________ for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his (12)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made (13)__________________ 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 (14)________ 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 (15)________ (16)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I (17)________ I'd (18)____________ a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had (19)________ that (20)____________ boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy (21)__________ 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 (22)________ for quite a while
And I know (23)__________ (24)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (25)__________ Jesus tonight
I (26)________ her to look beautiful if (27)________ meets Jesus tonight
