Johnny Cash - My Children Walk In 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
