Teresa

We were just kids on the front porch swing

Watching the clouds and the storms they would bring

Safe from the thunder, just you and me

Riding in the back of the old Ford, wild and free

Those simple days laid the roots of our tree

My closest friend, you were right there for me

Oh, Teresa, with a faith deep and true

Putting family and Jesus in all that you do

You’re so beautiful, though you don't see the light

A kindhearted spirit who makes the world bright

Through every season, you’ve always had my back

My sister, my best friend, keeping me on track

I stood proudly beside you on your wedding day

Watching the years of our youth slip away

You were a beautiful, grown-up bride

Saying "I do" to the soulmate by your side

I was so moved just to stand in that place

And witness the grace shining right on your face

Oh, Teresa, with a faith deep and true

Putting family and Jesus in all that you do

You’re so beautiful, though you don't see the light

A kindhearted spirit who makes the world bright

Through every season, you’ve always had my back

My sister, my best friend, keeping me on track

We’ve shared all the ups and we’ve weathered the downs

Shedding our tears when the sorrow came 'round

Then laughing hysterically over nothing at all

Whatever life brought us, we wouldn't fall

We've battled it together, walking hand in hand

Guided by faith and the rock where we stand

You love the Lord above all that you do

And His tender mercy reflects out of you

I appreciate you more than words can express

With your witty remarks and your sweet gentleness

Whatever the future may hold for us now

We'll face it together, I'm making that vow

Oh, Teresa, with a faith deep and true

Putting family and Jesus in all that you do

You’re so beautiful, I pray that you see

The incredible woman you grew up to be

Through every battle, you’ve always had my back

My sister, my best friend, there's nothing we lack
