The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy (1)________ last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right 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 (2)______________ (3)________ worn and old, he was dirty from (4)________ 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 (5)__________________ Eve and these shoes are (6)________ 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 (7)__________ (8)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what (9)____________ like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He (10)________________ his (11)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he (12)____________ at me
He (13)________ Mama made Christmas (14)________ at our house
Though (15)________ years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I (16)__________ to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her (17)__________ Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to (18)________ him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna (19)________ so great

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (20)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (21)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these 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 that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (24)__________________ 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 know these (25)__________ would (26)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I (27)________ her to look beautiful if Mama (28)__________ Jesus (29)______________
