In times of trouble

When all the worl seems, oh, so dark,

and I can't find a way to cope,

When deep inside me

I can no longer feel the spark,

And 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, my family tree,

and I thank God 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 each and every face,

These are my children, my family tree

And I thank God,

I thank God

Yes, I thank God

For choosin' me,

For choosin' me,

These are my children
