Lyrics
JESUS AND MY GRANDPA E.Enderlin/L.Flowers
She was born in 1913 she was raised in Arkansas
Her name was Mildred Jean but I called her my Grandma
She?d seen her share of hard times but she?d made it through them all
Said all it took was Jesus and my Grandpa
Grandpa went to war and left a farm to run
Two kids in diapers and Granny all alone
She kept a bible on her dresser and a cross up on the wall
And kept her faith in Jesus and my Grandpa
CHORUS :
Jesus was her rock and
Grandpa was her shoulder
She?d fold her hands in prayer
When each day was over
She?d count up her blessings
And each night she?d thank God
For Jesus and my Grandpa
Grandpa made it back
Alifetime flew by
Granny sang ?On Eagle?s Wings?
On the day he died
She lived for two more years
Till the angels carried her home
Then she left this world behind
When she heard that bugle call
She went to be with Jesus and my Grandpa
CHORUS REPEAT :
Tag :
She?d count up her blessings and each night she?d thank God
For Jesus and my Grandpa
