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
