Ann

Down a North Carolina road, she’s driving along

In that little HHR, humming a Sunday song

Heading to Bear Swamp Church to bow her head and pray

Living out a faithful life, walking in the Way

She speaks the honest truth with a gentle, steady grace

Showing us the love of God upon her smiling face

Oh, Ann, you are the roots of our family tree

A loving mother and mother-in-law, as sweet as you can be

You give with a selfless heart, sent down from above

We just want you to know that you are so deeply loved

The best Nana there is, with your arms open wide

Thank God for the shelter that you always provide

When the grandkids come around, her smile lights up the room

Calling out to "Pumpkin" and chasing away the gloom

Holding her "Little Bit" in a tender, warm embrace

You can feel the comfort of her sweet and quiet space

Every single evening, she gets down on her knees

Praying for her family, asking the Lord for peace

Oh, Ann, you are the roots of our family tree

A loving mother and mother-in-law, as sweet as you can be

You give with a selfless heart, sent down from above

We just want you to know that you are so deeply loved

The best Nana there is, with your arms open wide

Thank God for the shelter that you always provide

Through the changing of the seasons, your faith has been the guide

Never asking for a thing, just standing by our side

For every single prayer you whispered in the dark

You left a lasting blessing on every family heart

Oh, Ann, you are the roots of our family tree

A loving mother and mother-in-law, as sweet as you can be

You give with a selfless heart, sent down from above

We just want you to know that you are so deeply loved

The best Nana there is, with your arms open wide

Thank God for the shelter that you always provide

Yes, we just want you to know, you are so deeply loved
