[Intro – Soft Piano, Steel Guitar, Child Vocal]
Grandpa says, “Baby, fold your hands and pray,”
My uncles tell me, “We’ll keep the bad away.”
I may be little, but one thing I know—
God gave me heroes everywhere I go.
[Verse 1]
Grandpa’s got stories from long ago,
A worn-out Bible and a heart of gold.
He holds my hand when I’m scared at night,
Says, “Baby girl, just follow the Light.”
My uncles laugh and pick me up high,
Tell me I’m tougher than I realize.
And when I fall down and scrape my knee,
They’re right there kneeling next to me.
[Pre-Chorus – Choir Answers]
They teach me love—
(Choir: “Love like Jesus!”)
They teach me grace—
(Choir: “Walk by faith!”)
And every night
When I close my eyes,
I thank the Lord
For the men in my life.
[Chorus – Full Southern Gospel Choir]
I got country blood with a gospel kiss,
Little hands raised up praising Him like this.
Grandpa taught me how to bend my knees,
My uncles taught me family means everything.
When this old world gets big and scary,
They remind me Jesus walks beside me.
I’m just a little girl, but I’ve been blessed with this—
Country love wrapped in a gospel kiss.
[Verse 2]
Someday I’ll grow and understand
All the things they’ve done to make me who I am.
But right now I’ll climb up in Grandpa’s chair,
And fall asleep knowing he’s right there.
I’ll chase my uncles through the yard,
Laugh so loud underneath the stars.
They’ll say, “Little girl, don’t grow too fast,”
So I’ll hold these days while they still last.
[Bridge – Music Drops, Child Singing Alone]
Dear Jesus…
Please watch Grandpa when I’m not around.
Watch my uncles wherever they go.
Keep Your angels close beside them…
Because I love them more than they know.
[Choir Slowly Enters]
More than she knows…
More than they know…
[Final Chorus – Key Change / Full Choir]
We got country blood with a gospel kiss,
Three strong men showed me what real love is.
Grandpa showed me how to talk to Jesus,
My uncles showed me they’d never leave me.
And when I’m grown with babies of my own,
I’ll tell them ’bout the men who brought me home.
I’ll teach them faith just like I learned it—
With country blood and a gospel kiss.
[Outro – Child Vocal, No Instruments]
Grandpa…
Uncles…
If I don’t say it enough…
Thank you for holding my little hand.
Thank you for helping me understand
That God loves me bigger than this whole wide world…
And I love you that big, too.
(soft child whisper)
Amen.
