These Are My Children Lyrics

These Are My Children lyrics

In times of trouble

When all the world seems, oh, so dark 

And I can't find a way to cope 



When deep down inside me 

I can no longer feel the spark 

When I can see no ray of hope 



When I am lost 

What makes it all worthwhile 

One simple thought to make me smile 



These are my children 

My saving grace 

I see my calling 

In every face 



These are my children 

And I thank God 

For choosing me, for choosing me 



I wasn't blessed 

As other women in this life 

To have my own, to be mother and wife 



But I was blessed 

Beyond where wildest dreams can reach 

For I have the privilege 

Yes, the privilege to teach 



These are my children 

My saving grace 

I see my calling 

In every face 



These are my children 

My family tree 

And I thank God 

And I thank God 



Yes, I thank God 

For choosing me 

For choosing me 

These are my children
