Granny’s Angel

by Nicole C. Mullen

He was standing on the corner again While she was praying for God to forgive his sin And out of nowhere, two inches of lead To him it's still a mystery, how the bullet missed his head? But granny cried, "Lord Jesus, help my baby boy 'Cause he ain't doin' the things that he's supposed to," yeah, yeah Then she cried, "Lord Jesus, it would bring me joy To see him live to be someone who loves you" 'Cause you can't keep livin' on granny's Angel See it's about time you get one of your own I'm telling you can't keep livin' on granny's Angel 'Cause whatcha gonna do when granny's gone Stuck in traffic at a quarter 'til nine Shirley's cursing, oops that fatal wreck on my side No compassion 'cause she don't realize Had she been any earlier, boom it would have been her life But this is what happened But Granny cried, "Lord Jesus, help my baby girl To do the things she knows that she's supposed to" Then she cried, "Lord Jesus, it would mean the world To see her live to be someone who loves you"
