Ellen

I was just a child

Sitting at your feet

You would play your songs

And sing along so sweet

All the hymns and songs

You could simply play

I couldn’t understand

Why you would cry that way

You sang Amazing Grace

And Rock of Ages

He Lives and At the Cross

Without looking at the pages

You played The Old Rugged Cross

You sang of Joy Unspeakable

And the Old Time Power

What a Friend You Had in Jesus

Who gave you Wonderful Peace

You had Blessed Assurance

That you had been Redeemed

You Loved to Tell the Story

How Love Lifted Me

You sang of Showers of Blessings

And How Beautiful Heaven Must Be

You sang Just As I Am

Asked for Just A Closer Walk

You were Standing on the Promises

Determined to Hold the Fort

I still hear you singing

I Am Coming Lord

And Blessed Be The Name

Your Victory in Jesus

Is now within your reach

I know you hear them calling

To Come and Dine

The Mansion Over the Hilltop

Is now within your sight

It’s time to keep on walking

Into that heavenly light

Your family has all gathered

To say goodbye for now

When we All Get To Heaven

We’ll Meet You By The River

In that Sweet By and By

And then we all will sing

Blessed Be The Name

                                                             Goodbye Grandma.  I Love You.
