The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, (1)__________ I stood in (2)______________ line
Tryin' to buy that 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 clothes (3)________ worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his (4)________ to pay
I couldn't believe (5)________ I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these (6)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (7)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I (8)________ these shoes would 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 searched his (10)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said (11)________ made Christmas good at our house
Though most (12)__________ 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 (13)________ had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face (14)________ he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy (15)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (16)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (17)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes (18)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (19)__________ tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd (20)____________ a glimpse of heaven's love
As he (21)______________ 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 Christmas Eve and these shoes are (22)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, (23)__________ says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for (24)__________ a while
And I know these shoes (25)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (26)__________ (27)__________ tonight
I (28)________ her to (29)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
