You have a heart for anyone in need
Planting every patient, loving seed
Raising four daughters with a gentle grace
Making our home a warm and sacred place
You lift my spirit on a rainy day
And gently chase the shadows far away
You taught me everything I know right now
You showed me love, and then you showed me how
ChorusOh, Carlaann, I wouldn't trade you for the world
I thank the Lord I'm one of your girls
You're my partner, my best friend, my guide
With heavenly wisdom right by your side
The best mother that a child could ever know
I appreciate the grace you always show
Verse 2I think about the years of growing up
How you would always fill my empty cup
When I was lost, you took me off the street
And placed the solid ground beneath my feet
You didn't give up when my steps were wrong
You taught me in the Lord and kept me strong
You looked at me and saw what I could be
Thank you for never giving up on me
ChorusOh, Carlaann, I wouldn't trade you for the world
I thank the Lord I'm one of your girls
You're my partner, my best friend, my guide
With heavenly wisdom right by your side
The best mother that a child could ever know
I appreciate the grace you always show
BridgeYou wrap your arms around my saddest days
And try to take the hurtful times away
You dry my heavy tears and make me laugh
You are the steady light upon my path
My mother and my partner through it all
My dearest friend who answers every call
Final ChorusOh, Carlaann, I wouldn't trade you for the world
I thank the Lord I'm one of your girls
You're my partner, my best friend, my guide
With heavenly wisdom right by your side
The best mother that a child could ever know
I appreciate the grace you always show
Yes, I appreciate the love you always show
