Go Granny Go---

GO GRANNY GO--- Little old woman, this nation don’t understand; Your womb provided the first house of man Without your guidance and wisdom There’re be no children Go granny go Little old woman, here’s the plea Why you stay so much on your knees You’re so frail and not too well And you’re skin does smell Of mint, pine, and alcohol to me No granny no You can’t tell me nothing You know nothing of this world And no granny no I won’t respect you, this is a different world than yours You’re aged and broken and torn Your children don’t come visit you anymore So why you stay on your knees always Praying for those things you choose You can’t change this world today No one cares for the elderly So just…. Go Go granny go (But while I’m ignoring disrespecting, please keep right on praying for me) So Go Granny Go Oh, Jesus you’re the truth of all my dreams Jesus You’re the reason I’m saved And God you’re the reason that I live Father, I am thankful that you gave You’re only Son for me You allowed Him to die on a tree For my mercy Oh, Jesus you’re the source in my heart You’re the one whom imparts All the love of the Father, Agape And God you’re the reason that I Shall one day part the skies As my soul does fly When you call my name I’ll fly Unto your awaiting arms This I dream of This I wish for For, Jesus you’re the truth of all my dreams, alleluia 12/11/18 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. ©2018

They have continually put a person/persons name before God and He so graciously lifted them out of the mire ...Sara
