Johnny Cash - My Children Walk in the Truth lyrics

I prayed to feel more joy in my salvation A selfish prayer I finally came to know For the greatest joy while 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 And don't try to teach when you don't understand No one will follow you if you don't live it each day through And 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
