Verse 1
Every morning before the sun came up
Daniel and I would walk that little road
To Grandma and Grandpa’s house down the road
Where the kitchen lights were always glowing warm
Breakfast waiting on the table for us
Coffee brewing, eggs on the stove
Her Bible opened beside her coffee cup
And she’d read the Daily Bread before we’d go
Pre-Chorus
Then she’d bow her head and close her eyes
Before we ever walked outside
Chorus
She was only four-foot-eleven
Eighty pounds soaking wet
But she carried enough faith for a whole family yet
She was the glue that held us together
The light that showed us where to go
And if you asked me where I learned about Jesus
I’d point you to Grandma’s table long ago
Verse 2
Saturday mornings were a family tradition
Aunts and uncles filling every chair
Dad would laugh and somebody would tell stories
While Grandma smiled and listened there
Coffee cups and conversations
The sound of family filled the room
Looking back now I realize
She built a little piece of Heaven in that home
Pre-Chorus
She never preached with fancy words
She lived the lessons that we heard
Chorus
She was only four-foot-eleven
Eighty pounds soaking wet
But she carried enough faith for a whole family yet
She was the glue that held us together
The light that showed us where to go
And if you asked me where I learned about Jesus
I’d point you to Grandma’s table long ago
Bridge
Sometimes I wonder who I’d be
If God hadn’t placed her there for me
Would I know His grace, would I know His name
Would I still have faith through joy and pain
Because the greatest gift she ever gave
Wasn’t something money could buy
It was teaching me to trust the Lord
And keep Him by my side
Final Chorus
She was only four-foot-eleven
Eighty pounds soaking wet
But her love still echoes in my heart today
Her faith shines brighter than the years gone by
Like a candle that still glows
And when I talk to God in prayer these days
I hear Grandma in my soul
Yeah, if you ask me where I learned about Heaven
Where I found a faith that never lets go
I’d point you to a little kitchen table
And a woman with a heart of gold
Outro
Breakfast on the table
Bible by her side
A prayer before the school bell
And God’s love in her eyes
Grandma
You left footprints on my heart
And because of you
I’ll never walk too far from God.
