The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost (1)__________________ time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last (2)________ or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like (3)____________ boys do
And in his (4)__________ he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes were (5)________ and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his (6)________ to pay
I couldn't (7)______________ what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I (8)________ to buy these (9)__________ for my Mama, please
It's (10)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (11)________ time
You see she's been (12)________ for (13)__________ a while
And I (14)________ these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to (15)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He (16)______________ pennies for what seemed (17)________ years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he (18)____________ and he looked at me
He said Mama (19)________ 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 money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

Sir, I want to buy (20)__________ shoes for my Mama, please
It's (21)__________________ 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 shoes would (22)________ her smile
And I want her to (23)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he (24)______________ me and ran out
I knew that God had sent (25)________ 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 just her size
Could you hurry, sir, (26)__________ (27)________ there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I (28)________ 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
