THE JOY of OUR CHILDREN
Our children are our blessings
They melt our hearts away
When they serve God the Master
When they have found their way
Our children are our blessings
They honor us indeed
When they grow to maturity
When they let Jesus lead
Our children are our blessings
Even when they do wrong
We cannot help but love them
Their souls we ever long
Our children are our blessings
What joy what peace what love
When childlike faith begins to grow
God smiles from above
Our children are our blessings
We carried them from birth
They'll be our blessings and our joy
As long as they're on earth.
