Grandma's Hands

Grandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday morning

Grandma's hands played a tambourine so well

Grandma's hands used to issue out a warning

She'd say Ronny don't you run so fast

You might fall on a piece of glass

There might be snakes there in the grass

Grandma's hands

Grandma's hands soothed a local unwed mother

Grandma's hands used to ache sometimes and swell

Grandma's hands used to lift a face and tell her

She'd say baby Grandma understands

That you really love that man

Put your faith in Jesus' hands

Grandma's hands

Grandma's hands used to hand me a piece of candy

Grandma's hands picked me each time I'd fall

Grandma's hands

Lord they really came in handy

She'd say Edith don't you whip that boy

What'cha wanna spank him for

He didn't steal that candy from no store

But I don't have Grandma anymore

When I get to heaven

I'm gonna look for Grandma's hands
