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 (2)__________________ mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he (3)________ a pair of shoes

And His (4)______________ were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his (5)________ to pay
I couldn't (6)______________ what I heard him say

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

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

So I laid the money down, I just had to (14)________ him out
I'll never forget the look on his (15)________ when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these (16)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (17)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (18)________ time
You see she's been (19)________ for quite a while
And I (20)________ (21)__________ shoes would (22)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a (23)______________ of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent (24)________ (25)____________ 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 (26)__________ 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 (27)________ these shoes (28)__________ 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
