The Christmas Shoes by NewSong
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy (1)________ last gift or two, not (2)____________ in the Christmas mood
Standing (3)__________ in front of me was a little boy (4)______________ anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he (5)________ a pair of shoes
And His (6)______________ were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his (7)________ to pay
I couldn't believe what I (8)__________ him say
Chorus:
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 (9)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look (10)__________________ if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He (11)______________ pennies for what seemed (12)________ years
Then the cashier said, Son, there's not enough here
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though (13)________ years she (14)________ did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her (15)__________ Christmas shoes
So I laid the (16)__________ down, I just had to help him out
I'll (17)__________ (18)____________ the (19)________ 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 (20)__________________ 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 (21)__________ shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful 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 (23)________ that God had sent that 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, Daddy says there's not (24)________ time
You see she's been (25)________ for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets (26)__________ tonight
I want her to look beautiful if Mama (27)__________ Jesus tonight
