A song about Shaky's Grandmother in The Salvation Army Taken from the new album 'Echoes of Our Times' The song just repeats the same chord changes throughout the verses and chorus (Intro) E (Verse 1)
EShe grew up in hardship, never had it good Still she felt her calling, and always knew she would AFollowing the general, a passion for the poor EGiving food and shelter, an ever open door
(Chorus)
BShe was on a mission, keeping back the flood Her onlEy munition was the fire in her blood
(Verse 2)
EA soldier in Gods army, salvation was her aim Joining in the war cry to sweep away the shame Of Apoverty and hunger, the enemies within EMaking good from evil, to free the world from sin
(Chorus)
BShe was on a mission, keeping back the flood Her Eonly munition was the fire in her blood
(Verse 3)
EBearing fourteen children, only half survived But through all this heartache, she kept her faith alive She Awas a true believer, never did despair Her Espirit never wearied, she would always care
(Chorus)
BShe was on a mission, keeping back the flood Her Eonly munition was the fire in her blood
(Verse 4)
EServed the Lord with gladness, didn’t feel her pain Scorned the devil’s raging, to keep the Lords domain AProudly wore her uniform, a symbol of her goal And EI am proud to say that she’s, a beacon for my soul
(Chorus)
BShe was on a mission, keeping back the flood Her oEnly munition was the fire in her blood EHer only munition was the fire in her blood
