Letra de «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
