<p>(Intro/Dr. Fred Brown):<br/>‘Verily, verily I say unto thee<br/>Except a corn of wheat<br/>Falling to the ground and die<br/>It abideth alone<br/>But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.’<br/>I hold a grain of wheat in my hand<br/>It is small and hard<br/>And narrow and self-contained<br/>And yet at its heart<br/>There sleeps the mystery of life<br/>And that is a parable<br/><br/>Just a simple preacher<br/>From the Carolina hills<br/>Born in just the perfect place and time<br/>A gentle loving mountain man<br/>With warm and sparkling eyes<br/>And a face that wrinkled from a constant smile<br/>From you I learned the kind of faith<br/>That looks up to the mountains<br/>In you I saw just what I’d like to be<br/>Oh, Granddad, I wish you could be here<br/>To tell me what to do<br/>&#x27;Cause I first saw the light of Christ through you<br/><br/>It must&#x27;ve been a special love<br/>That filled your shepherd&#x27;s heart<br/>That made you care so deeply for your flock<br/>&#x27;Cause I hear tell on winter days<br/>You&#x27;d always give your coat away<br/>Simple &#x27;cause you thought they needed more<br/><br/>In you I learned the kind of faith<br/>That looked up to the mountains<br/>In you I saw just what I’d like to be<br/>Oh, Granddad, I wish you could be here<br/>To tell me what to do<br/>&#x27;Cause I first saw the light of Christ through you<br/><br/>And even though we never got<br/>To know each other well<br/>I thank the Lord for that one special night<br/>When somewhere between the earth and sky<br/>We silently met eye to eye<br/>And I got the hug I needed for so long<br/>In you I learned the kind of faith<br/>That looked up to the mountains<br/>In you I saw just what I’d like to be<br/>Oh, Granddad, I wish you could be here<br/>To tell me what to do<br/>&#x27;Cause I first saw the light of Christ through you<br/><br/>From you I learned the kind of faith<br/>That looks up to the mountains<br/>In you I saw just what I’d like to be<br/>Oh, Granddad, I wish you could be here<br/>To tell me what to do<br/>&#x27;Cause I first saw the light of Christ through you<br/><br/>Oh, Granddad, I wish you could be here<br/>To tell me what to do<br/>&#x27;Cause I first saw the light of Christ through you<br/><br/>(Outro/Dr. Fred Brown):<br/>I have no hope expect that I believe<br/>That Christ died for my sins<br/>According to scriptures<br/>I expect to swing out into eternity on that
