When Grammy Must Go
by Effie Darlene Barba
Grammy, Grammy you are here
I heard his little voice
And saw his grin from ear to ear
To love had been his choice
As I looked into that face
That filled my life with joy
My grandson stood there in this place
This little precious boy
Chorus 1
So, why must I go Lord
And leave this precious child
With broken heart
I must depart
At your command I go
Lord, I know your plan is best
The years have taught me this
Upon your love, my soul doth rest
Although his smile I’ll miss
Now dear Lord, then show me how
To say that I must leave
In such a way, my love doth show
And he’s not left to grieve
Chorus 2
Let your love pour down, Lord
Surround his heart with you
Fill him with joy
This dear little boy
Full of hope, and joy, and love
And now I must go
Lay aside all this woe
For you my precious King
Will take care of everything
Question: Have you ever had to leave someone behind because God said go?
