The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that (1)________ gift or two, not (2)____________ 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 hands he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came 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 just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's (4)________ sick for quite a while
And I know these (5)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not (6)____________ here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he (7)____________ at me
He said Mama (8)________ (9)__________________ (10)________ 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 (11)________ on his (12)________ when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy these (13)__________ for my Mama, please
It's (14)__________________ 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)________ these shoes (16)__________ make her smile
And I (17)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

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


Sir, I (20)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (21)__________________ Eve and these shoes are (22)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for (23)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (24)__________ (25)__________ tonight
I want her to (26)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
