GRANDMOTHER’S PROMISES


I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’LL CALL ME
I HAVEN’T GOT A CLUE
I DO KNOW THIS ONE THING
IT’LL BE SPECIAL IF IT COMES FROM YOU.

I WILL ANSWER WHEN YOU CALL ME
IF YOU FALL I WILL RUN
I WILL TAKE YOU TO THE PARK
TO SWING AND MAYBE HAVE SOME FUN.

I WILL LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART
I WILL READ YOU A BOOK OR TWO
I WILL ASK YOU TO COME SEE ME
I WILL TALK ABOUT JESUS WITH YOU.

I WILL LIFT YOU UP IN PRAYER
I WILL ASK GOD TO GUIDE YOU
AND WHEN YOUR ALL GROWN UP
I’LL BE RIGHT THERE BESIDE YOU.

AS A GRANDMOTHER I KNOW
MY LAP IS YOUR SPACE
IT IS ALWAYS THERE
SO HUGGING CAN TAKE PLACE.

SO, USE IT WHEN YOU NEED TOO
TO MAYBE SHED A TEAR
OR TALK ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS
OR TALK ABOUT YOUR FEARS.

I AM NOT THE WISEST WOMAN
BUT MY FATHER ABOVE IS
SO, WHEN YOU HAVE A BURDEN
CAST IT AND MAKE IT HIS.
