SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST                           ©1995,John A.Poe,Jr.
1 I still remember Sundays, when the final hymn was sung, We'd hurry out to Grandma's house, 'cause we knew lunch was done; She'd have fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and collard greens, Hot biscuits, roast beef, applesauce, baked ham and pinto beans; But never mind how full we got, she had one more surprise: Banana pudding, chocolate cake, whipped cream and pumpkin pie. She was... • (chorus) Saving the best for last; Life got sweeter mighty fast; Don't listen when they tell you that the happy times are past,  We're just saving the best for last. • 2 The Master of the universe became a lowly man, And came to Earth so long ago, to live in this sad land. He preached against hypocrisy, self-righteousness and hate, And though He taught that God is Love, Mount Calvary was His fate. They beat Him without mercy, then they nailed Him to a tree, They murdered Him, but He came back to win the victory. He was... • (chorus) Saving the best for last; Miracles have come to pass; Don't listen when they tell you that the Glory days are past, He's just saving the best for last. • 3 My life gets better every day, 'cause Jesus walks with me; My prison bars have disappeared, His love has set me free. I'm often lifted up by lessons from His Holy Word- No greater news than His amazing grace was ever heard. Now some folks reminisce about the way things used to be, But I look forward to the day I'll reach Eternity. God is... • (chorus) Saving the best for last; All my tears will soon be past; Don't listen when they tell you that the good old days are past, God is saving the best for last.
Don't listen when they tell you that the good old days are past, God is saving the best for last. • •
