The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was almost (1)__________________ time, there I (2)__________ in another line
Tryin' to buy that last (3)________ or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in (4)__________ 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 (5)________ head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say
Chorus:
Sir, I (6)________ 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 know these (7)__________ (8)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He counted (9)______________ for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He (10)________________ his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He (11)________ Mama made (12)__________________ 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 just had to (13)________ him out
I'll never (14)____________ the look on his face when 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 (16)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (17)__________ says there's not (18)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if (19)________ meets Jesus tonight
Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a (20)______________ 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 (22)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (23)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I (24)________ these (25)__________ would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look (26)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
