The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was (1)____________ Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that (2)________ 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 (3)________ a pair of shoes

And His clothes were 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 shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (6)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (7)__________ (8)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes (9)__________ make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for (10)________ seemed (11)________ years
Then the (12)______________ said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he (13)____________ at me
He said Mama (14)________ Christmas 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 (15)__________ down, I just had to help him out
I'll never (16)____________ the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy (17)__________ 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 (18)________ time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these (19)__________ would make her smile
And I (20)________ her to look (21)__________________ if Mama meets (22)__________ 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 little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these (23)__________ for my Mama, please
It's (24)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (25)________ 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 Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
