verse 1
F C
Seven years old upon my knees

On the third row pew, trying to see

Bb F C
That moved your feet, stirred something up inside

To see her grin from ear to ear
F
One thing for sure was very clear

This wasn't just a song

We shall meet on that beautiful shore

We shall meet on that beautiful shore

My grandmamma's voice, a memory

Just like the old song said, she's on that shore

I hope she's proud of what she sees

Cause thanks to her I'm walkin' with the Lord
