The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was (1)____________ Christmas time, there I stood in another 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 (2)________ worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't (3)______________ what I heard him say
Chorus:
Sir, I (4)________ to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (5)__________ (6)__________ are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for (7)__________ a while
And I know these shoes (8)__________ (9)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama (10)__________ Jesus tonight
He (11)______________ pennies for what seemed like years
Then the (12)______________ said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama (13)________ Christmas good at our house
Though most years she (14)________ 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 (15)________ had to help him out
I'll (16)__________ forget the look on his (17)________ (18)________ he said
Mama's gonna look so great
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these (19)__________ 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 shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (20)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
Bridge:
I (21)________ I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he (22)______________ me and ran out
I knew that God had sent (23)________ little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about
Sir, I (24)________ to buy these (25)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy (26)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would (27)________ her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (28)__________ tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
