  • Update on My Grammy

    Blake Bolerjack
    Jun 5, 2013

    Many of you have heard my testimony about how my grandmother’s prayers deeply affected my life at a time when I thought I wasn’t even worth praying for.  This morning Wednesday, June 5th, my Grammy went to be with the Lord during her sleep.  She was one month shy of her 100th birthday.  While I am deeply affected that I won’t get to hold her hand anymore, or visit her and sing her favorite hymns to her, I am overcome with joy that she finally got to enter through Heaven’s gates and into Jesus’ arms.

    *Update 6/12/13*

    I had the priviledge of singing a song I wrote for my grammy’s funeral.  The words and music came to me on my drive to TX to be with my family.

    The lyrics are as follows and Jenna shot a video of me rehearsing the song with my instrumentalist a few hours before the funeral:

    Hey Sugar (Grammy’s Song)

    The dreaded call, the tears fall
    Oh the memories flood my mind again
    A grandma’s love, now with God above
    I can’t believe the time has come and gone
    As a little child, I loved to play around her place
    Then she’d come outside and call me home with a smile on her face

    She’d say, “Hey Sugar” when I walked through the door
    And in her house I was never poor
    ‘Cause I’d feel the love that she has always shown
    She’d hug me tight and say, “I’ve waited for you,
    It’s been a little while but you’re right on cue,
    Oh I hope you know just how much I love you.”
    And though the loss is hard and I feel so alone
    There’s something special about when God calls a grandma home

    Her family, her loyalty
    She’s always there for anyone in need
    And when I strayed, I know she prayed
    She changed my life and taught me how to love
    And even when I grew up and lived far away
    I loved to go and see my grandma and for a while stay

    She’d say, “Hey Sugar” when I walked through the door
    And in her house I was never poor
    ‘Cause I’d feel the love that she has always shown
    She’d hug me tight and say, “I’ve waited for you,
    It’s been a little while but you’re right on cue,
    Oh I hope you know just how much I love you.”
    And though the loss is hard and I feel so alone
    There’s something special about when God calls a grandma home

    I imagine my grandma at Heaven’s gate
    Being greeted by her Savior without a moment’s wait

    He will say, “Hey Sugar” when she walks through the door
    And in His house she is never poor
    ‘Cause she feels the love that God has always shown
    He hugs her tight and says, “I’ve waited for you,
    It’s been a little while but you’re right on cue,
    Oh I hope you know just how much I love you.”
    And though the loss is hard and I feel so alone
    There’s something special about when God calls a grandma home

    Oh He called my grandma home
    Grandma’s home.
