lirik lagu michael card - for f.f.b.
(intro/dr. fred brown):
‘verily, verily i say unto thee
except a corn of wheat
falling to the ground and die
it abideth alone
but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.’
i hold a grain of wheat in my hand
it is small and hard
and narrow and self~contained
and yet at its heart
there sleeps the mystery of life
and that is a parable
just a simple preacher
from the carolina hills
born in just the perfect place and time
a gentle loving mountain man
with warm and sparkling eyes
and a face that wrinkled from a constant smile
from you i learned the kind of faith
that looks up to the mountains
in you i saw just what i’d like to be
oh, granddad, i wish you could be here
to tell me what to do
’cause i first saw the light of christ through you
it must’ve been a special love
that filled your shepherd’s heart
that made you care so deeply for your flock
’cause i hear tell on winter days
you’d always give your coat away
simple ’cause you thought they needed more
in you i learned the kind of faith
that looked up to the mountains
in you i saw just what i’d like to be
oh, granddad, i wish you could be here
to tell me what to do
’cause i first saw the light of christ through you
and even though we never got
to know each other well
i thank the lord for that one special night
when somewhere between the earth and sky
we silently met eye to eye
and i got the hug i needed for so long
in you i learned the kind of faith
that looked up to the mountains
in you i saw just what i’d like to be
oh, granddad, i wish you could be here
to tell me what to do
’cause i first saw the light of christ through you
from you i learned the kind of faith
that looks up to the mountains
in you i saw just what i’d like to be
oh, granddad, i wish you could be here
to tell me what to do
’cause i first saw the light of christ through you
oh, granddad, i wish you could be here
to tell me what to do
’cause i first saw the light of christ through you
(outro/dr. fred brown):
i have no hope expect that i believe
that christ died for my sins
according to scriptures
i expect to swing out into eternity on that
