She handed me a cup of tea with strong but tiny hands
I asked, "What secret keeps you feelin' young and perky, Gran?"
She looked at me and gave a wink, then soon she made her claim,
Gran grinned and answered, "Listen, Dear, here's how I win the game"

(Chorus)
I wake up in the mornin' and I thank God for the day
Then I watch the dazzling sunrise with a smile
And when the evening closes, I fold my hands to pray
I say "God, please walk beside me ev'ry mile"

Before the visit ended, Granny whispered one more thing
"Honey, hold His hand in yours, sweet Jesus, reigning King
Keep your eyes set on the prize, fear not what man can do
Now hear my words, my darling child, and joy will come to you"

(Chorus)
I wake up in the mornin' and I thank God for the day
Then I watch the dazzling sunrise with a smile
And when the evening closes, I fold my hands to pray
I say "God, please walk beside me ev'ry mile"

(Bridge)
She said: "Ev'ry mile, He's my companion
And ev'ry mile He leads the way
If I need to rest for a while
He picks me up without delay
And then He gently carries me
To a calm and peaceful shore
No more stormy seas for me
I won't sail them anymore"

I still recall her precious words and the visit long ago
I won't forget her answer and the wisdom that she showed
Granny's with the angels now, but she taught me very well
I share her golden secret with each person I can tell

(Chorus)
I wake up in the mornin' and I thank God for the day
Then I watch the dazzling sunrise with a smile
And when the evening closes, I fold my hands to pray
I say "God, please walk beside me ev'ry mile"
