The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was almost Christmas time, there I (1)__________ 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 held a pair of shoes

And His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it (3)________ his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I (4)__________ him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's (5)__________________ Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not (6)________ time
You see she's been sick for (7)__________ a while
And I know (8)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He (9)______________ pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his (10)______________ frantically
Then he turned and he (11)____________ at me
He said Mama made 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 (12)__________________ shoes

So I (13)________ 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 (14)________ so great

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, 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 (15)________ her to (16)________ (17)__________________ if Mama (18)__________ Jesus 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 (19)________ that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these (20)__________ for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are (21)________ her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for (22)__________ a while
And I know these (23)__________ would make her smile
And I (24)________ her to look beautiful if Mama (25)__________ Jesus tonight
I want her to look (26)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus (27)______________
