    Lyrics:
    Grandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday morning
    Grandma's hands played a tambourine so well
    Grandma's hands used to issue out a warning
    She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fast
    Might fall on a piece of glass
    Might be snakes there in that grass,"
    Grandma's hands
    Grandma's hands sooth the local unwed mother
    Grandma's hands used to ache sometimes and swell
    Grandma's hands used to lift her face and tell her
    She'd say, "Baby Grandma understands
    That you really loved that man
    Put yourself in Jesus' hands."
    Grandma's Hands
    Grandma's hands used to hand me piece of candy
    Grandma's hands picked me up each time I fell
    Grandma's hands, boy they really came in handy
    She'd say, " Mattie don't you whip that boy
    What you want to spank him for?
    He didn't drop no apple core,"
    But I don't have Grandma anymore
    If I get to heaven I'll look for
    Grandma's hands

      I only knew my grandfather on my father's side of the family. Papa, as we called him, took care of Grandma Sara who was very sick and passed before I knew her. On my mother's side of the family, both grandparents passed away when I was a little child 😢 💔 Anyone who knew and loved their grandparents are Blessed.

    Just played this today for my grandmother. She'll be 96 next month. Happy mother's day grandma!
    *edit* After a long journey through this thing called life she peacefully passed away Friday September 4th, 2020 at 97. Our entire family is in mourning due to losing our matriarch and spiritual rock. Thank you grandma for the constant prayers, wisdom, love and support. Those hands... Grandma's hands were strong as they were soft. Those hands raised children into responsible adults and in turn raised many more in the face of adversity. Her spirit will remain constant. Losing you will never sit right with me, but I am at peace to know that you're in a place with no pain, sorrow, war, disease or hatred. I'll love you forever and will see you one day with your wings... Amen 🙏🏾❤.

    Oh this song has such heart and soul, and that's coming from a working-class white girl. This level of music is absolutely 100% unbeatable... it's music GOLD. Respect.

    when I was fifteen years old, I made fun of a friend who not only liked, but honored this song. I was young and very foolish. Now, I am sixty -one. I love, and am very terrified for my beautiful grandchildren. Now, I understand.🙏🕊️

    Lyrics:
    Grandma's hands
    Clapped in church on Sunday morning
    Grandma's hands
    Played a tambourine so well
    Grandma's hands
    Used to issue out a warning
    She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fast
    Might fall on a piece of glass
    "Might be snakes there in that grass"
    Grandma's hands
    Grandma's hands
    Soothed a local unwed mother
    Grandma's hands
    Used to ache sometimes and swell
    Grandma's hands
    Used to lift her face and tell her,
    She'd say "Baby, Grandma understands
    That you really love that man
    Put yourself in Jesus hands"
    Grandma's hands
    Grandma's hands
    Used to hand me piece of candy
    Grandma's hands
    Picked me up each time I fell
    Grandma's hands
    Boy, they really came in handy
    She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy
    What you want to spank him for?
    He didn't drop no apple core"
    But I don't have Grandma anymore
    If I get to heaven I'll look for
    Grandma's hands

    I lost my grandmother. Every lyric he said I related too. My grandmother saved me from some whoopings. She was such a sweet woman until Alzheimer’s came into effect. She started cursing us out and etc. I was sad and upset but I’m so glad my grandmother is in the hands of the Father so as Bill Withers!!!
