Lyrics
THIS YEAR OUR GIFT WAS A GRANDCHILD © 2001 Eva Fry
THIS YEAR OUR GIFT WAS GRANDCHILD
A TINY BABE FROM UP ABOVE
THIS YEAR OUR GIFT WAS A GRANDCHILD
A CHILD GOD SENT FOR US TO LOVE
THOUGH THE YEARS HAVE GONE ALONG
AND OUR KIDS HAVE COME AND GONE
THIS GRANDCHILD BRINGS A NEW LEASE ON LIFE
AS I HOLD MY TINY GRANDCHILD
MEMORIES COME RUSHING BACK TO ME
OF HOLDING MY OWN CHILDREN
THEIR SWEET FACES I CAN SEE
THE JOYS AND THE FEARS
THE FUN AND THE TEARS
THOSE HAPPY TIMES WERE OVER MUCH TOO SOON
NOW WE HAVE THIS LITTLE GRANDCHILD
TO LOVE THE WAY WE?VE LEARNED TO LOVE
TO VALUE EVERY MINUTE
TO THANK OUR FATHER UP ABOVE
THIS BABY IS THE ONE
CONNECTING OUR LOVED ONES
TOGETHER THROUGHOUT ALL ETERNITY
THIS YEAR OUR GIFT WAS A GRANDCHILD
A TINY BABE FROM UP ABOVE
THIS YEAR OUR GIFT WAS A GRANDCHILD
A CHILD GOD SENT FOR US TO LOVE
THOUGH THE YEARS HAVE GONE ALONG
AND OUR KIDS HAVE COME AND GONE
THIS GRANDCHILD BRINGS A NEW LEASE ON LIFE
THIS GRANDCHILD BRINGS A NEW LEASE ON LIFE
