Lyrics
"Dedicated to Grandmas"

When I was young
In my prime
I used to love to go to Grandma's
In the Summertime
The house was old and ragged
But still a warm homeplace
When Grandma praised Jesus
Thanked Him for Amazing Grace
She didn't do it for show
She didn't know we was on the place
When she praised her Jesus
Thanked Him for Amazing Grace

2nd Verse
We'd be upon a hilltop
When Grandma'd begin to sing
We'd stop what we doing
'Cause we didn't want to miss anything
For soon Grandma'd be shouting
Running all over the place
Praising her Jesus
Thanking Him for Amazing Grace
She didn't do it for show
She didn't know we was on the place
When she praised her Jesus
Thanked Him for Amazing Grace

3rd Verse
Grandma played the harmonica
But know'd a 1000 songs
We'd all gather round her
And we'd all sing along
Then Grandma would get serious
Tears running down her face
Praising her Jesus
Thanking Him for Amazing Grace
She didn't do it for show
She didn't know we was on the place
When she praised her Jesus
Thanked Him for Amazing Grace

4th Verse
It's been 60 years
Since Grandma went home
But the memory of Grandma
Is still just as strong
There's something about Grandma
That time can't erase
When she praised her Jesus
Thanked Him for Amazing Grace
They don't do it for show
They don't know you're on the place
When they praise their Jesus
Thank Him for Amazing Grace
We praise you Jesus
We thank you for Amazing Grace
