The Christmas Shoes by NewSong

It was (1)____________ (2)__________________ time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy (3)________ last gift or two, not really in the (4)__________________ mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy (5)______________ anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And His clothes were (6)________ and old, he was (7)__________ (8)________ head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe (9)________ I (10)__________ him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy (11)__________ 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 (12)________ for (13)__________ a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I (14)________ her to look beautiful if Mama meets (15)__________ tonight

He (16)______________ pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He (17)________________ his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he (18)____________ at me
He said (19)________ made Christmas good at our house
Though (20)________ 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 (21)________ 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 these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (22)__________ 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 want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Bridge:
I (23)________ I'd caught a (24)______________ of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To (25)____________ me (26)________ Christmas is all about


Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and (27)__________ 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 want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
I want her to (28)________ beautiful if Mama meets Jesus (29)______________
