I prayed to know more joy in my salvation
A selfish prayer I finally came to know
For my greatest joy in living comes to me when I am giving
Giving children bread of life and watch them grow
And my greatest joy is knowing that my children walk in truth
And that they are giving you Lord of their fire and strength of youth
Yes, I've found the greatest joy in my salvation
Is knowing that my children walk in truth
It's hard to feed someone else when you're hungry
You can't teach if you don't understand
And no-one will follow you if you don't live it each day through
A frightened child won't hold a trembling hand
And my greatest joy is knowing that my children walk in truth
And that they are giving you Lord of their fire and strength of youth
Yes, I've found the greatest joy of my salvation
Is knowing that my children walk in truth
Yes, I've found the greatest joy of my salvation
Is knowing that my children walk in truth
