Story behind the song
I believe everyone who had a grandmother like mine can relate to this song. as i reminisce about the wonderful days of my childhood. when life simple and was sweet. those were happy times. ( we,) all of the grandkids use to love playing on ( What I Call ) "Cherryhill. Because we always ran up to the railroad tracks to play. all of the kids from that neighborhood gathered there. going to "Grandma's House" was fun and i vividly remember how none of us ever wanted to go home! it was the place to be. plenty of down home cookin, ( SOUL FOOD ) and everybody around town knew that grandma's house was the spot to eat and be satisfied. she would litteraly talk about the lord all day long!!! pouring into us grandchildren and wetting our spiritual appettites for seeking after God. every birthday she would make me a coconut cream pie. when we got sick her famous potato soup was good to our souls. she sung and prayed around the house all the time. What a profound impact she made in all of our lives and i'm so grateful to God that she is able to hear this song at the age of (94 years old ). I hope this song describes your grandmother. this song is litterally an "Anthom" for all grandmother's, everywhere. and what a way to express your appreciation for her, and celebrate her by buying her this special song that speaks from the heart of a grateful grandchild, to the worlds greatest grandmother, in their eye's. I know you feel the same way about your grandma! "Thanks Grandma...
Lyrics
( 1st Verse ) I remember when i was a child going down to grandma's house she would tell us all a story about the lord of glory we'd sit around with wide opened eye's she would start from genesis down through revelation next by that time we would all be on our knees ( Chorus ) she would talk about the lord - talk about the lord talk about the lord all day ( 2nd Verse ) I remember on Cherryhill where the grandkids got their thrill rainy days brought a rainbow in the sky she was always cooking in the house making sure no one got left out you could feel the love flowing all around ( CHORUS ) she would talk about the lord - talk about the lord talk about the lord all day ( 3rd Verse ) When i was in my teens toward the world i started to lean she was always there to show me that she really cared she would stress the straight and narrow son it's the only way to travel you got to stay ready no time to be playing he's coming real soon (CHORUS) she would talk about the lord - talk about the lord talk about the lord all day How i miss those days of hearing grandma pray to watch her sing and shout all through out the house i thank you for your love and your gentle touch theres no one like you to do the things you do How i love to spend the night huggin squeezin the pillow tight oh i never want to go home this is where we all belong playin on Cherryhill thats where the grandkids got there thrill we would joke around with Daddy B run and climb up in the back yard tree talking to Mary and Mack and playing up on the railroad tracks just turn back the hands of time let me taste the coconnut cream pie she'd pray when we all got sick t he potato soup i really do miss you helped me a many days thank you for showing me the way i remember the meals and playing in the fields i thank God for the memories i thank God for Moma Lucy I want to go to Grandma's House
