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

Sara Kendrick December 12, 2018 at 9:51 AM Interesting thoughts penned. I like the faith based ending. Prayers of mothers and grandmothers and just some women in a church who choose to pray for a person is the reason they are saved. They have continually put a person/persons name before God and He so graciously lifted them out of the mire ...Sara
