Sweet Lad Poem by cheryl davis miller

Listen sweet Lad,
to the words of your granny.
She’ll teach you right,
she would ner lead you wrong.
She’ll tell you of Jesus
His grace and His mercy.
The work of His cross
in the words of a song.

[chorus]
Singin hi diddle aye,
diddle aye, diddle odee,
hi diddle aye, diddle aye, diddle lou,
I love you Laddie,
with all that is in me.
But it’s nothing compared Lad,
with His love for you.

Lad in this world,
there are those who would use you.
They’ll want you to join them,
in all that they do.
They’ll cause you to stray,
and then laugh when you stumble.
You reach up to Jesus,
He’ll never leave you.

[chorus]
Singin hi diddle aye,
diddle aye, diddle odee,
hi diddle aye, diddle aye, diddle lou,
I love you Laddie,
with all that is in me.
But it’s nothing compared Lad,
with His love for you.
