Theresa

Born in the autumn, November the eighth

Seventy-six was the start of your faith

Shared with Michelle, a twin from the start

Theresa, you’ve always had twice the heart

You're such a good listener, hearing my voice

A beautiful mother who makes me rejoice

So caring and funny, a light in the room

Your loving embrace chases away all the gloom

You always tell me, "Let not your heart be troubled"

When the worries of life start feeling doubled

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

And He gave me a mother who helps me to see

Oh, Theresa, your faith is my guiding light

With you by my side, everything is alright

We’re going out eating or walking the mall

Shopping together, we laugh through it all

Saturdays cheering at Troy football games

Your outgoing spirit, the joy it proclaims

Then Sunday morning, we walk through the doors

Sitting in church, praising God, seeking more

A truly good person, a soul pure and bright

You've shown me the way to walk in His light

You always tell me, "Let not your heart be troubled"

When the worries of life start feeling doubled

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

And He gave me a mother who helps me to see

Oh, Theresa, your faith is my guiding light

With you by my side, everything is alright

When I need an ear, you're the one that I seek

You lift up my spirit whenever I'm weak

A great mother holding my hand through the years

You pray for my peace and you dry all my tears

You always tell me, "Let not your heart be troubled"

When the worries of life start feeling doubled

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

And He gave me a mother who helps me to see

Oh, Theresa, your faith is my guiding light

With you by my side, everything is alright

Yes, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
