GRANDMA
HAD A GARDEN OUT NEAR THE KITCHEN DOOR,
JUST
A SIMPLE GARDEN; I WAS ONLY FOUR,
I'D
WATCH HER AS SHE'D BEND AND PULL
THEN
SHE'D WORK SOME MORE,
OUT
IN THAT LITTLE GARDEN AS SHE SANG UNTO THE LORD.
CHORUS
SHE
KEPT THE WEEDS OUT AND LET THE GARDEN GROW,
SHE
PULLED THE WEEDS OUT; THERE'S A LESSON THERE I KNOW,
TO
KEEP THE WEEDS OUT AS THROUGH THIS LIFE I GO,
I
REMEMBER GRANDMA'S GARDEN AND HOW SHE LOVED US SO.
GRANDMA
TENDED GARDEN, SHE NEVER MISSED A DAY,
SHE'D
DO THE VERY BEST BY DAY AND EVENINGS SHE WOULD PRAY,
THANKSGIVINGS
FOR HER GARDEN, FOR THE HOME SHE LOVED SO MUCH,
AND
FAMILY GATHERED ‘ROUND HER, FOR EVERY LOVING TOUCH.
CHORUS
MY
LIFE IS LIKE A GARDEN, IT NEEDS SOME TENDER CARE,
AT
TIMES IT'S BATTERED BY THE STORM, AT TIMES THE WEATHER'S FAIR,
I
NEED TO KEEP THE WEEDS OUT, GRANDMA TAUGHT ME SO,
BY
TENDING TO HER GARDEN, STRAIGHT AND TALL TO GROW.
