The Gift They Got In Heaven
by Brenda White

Album: An Evening In December

Grandma spilled some water
When she fed the Christmas tree
She said her eyes were blurry
But she'd been crying seemed to me
'Cause of all the gifts God gave us
One's no longer here
You see, Grandpa is the gift
they got in Heaven this year

So you might hear an angel singing now
A little bit off-key
But Grandma says his shirts stay white
And his skin is wrinkle free
And when Jesus opens this one
She says Heaven's gonna cheer
Because Grandpa is the gift
they got in Heaven this year

Grandpa loved the snow
Because he loved the snowball fight
And Grandma says that Jesus knows
What He got Himself alright

Grandma said the reason
We didn't get much snow down here
Is that Grandpa is the gift
they got in Heaven this year

So you might hear an angel singing now
A little bit off-key
But Grandma says his shirts stay white
And his skin is wrinkle free
And when Jesus opens this one
She says Heaven's gonna cheer
Because Grandpa is the gift
they got in Heaven this year

Now someone else is gonna wear
the cotton-ball beard
I remember he used shaving cream
Instead of it one year

And Grandma says that Jesus gives
Everything we pray
So us kids got together
and asked if Grandpa had to stay

So you might hear an angel singing now
A little bit off-key
But Grandma says his shirts stay white
And his skin is wrinkle free
And when Jesus opens this one
She says Heaven's gonna cheer
Because Grandpa is the gift
they got in Heaven this year
