[Verse 1]
E                      A          E
I prayed to feel more joy in my salvation
                    A               B7
A selfish prayer I finally came to know
         A                                 E               A
For the greatest joy while living comes to me when I am giving
        E       A        E        B7         E    A  E
Giving children bread of life and watch them grow

[Chorus]
        A                              E
And my greatest joy is knowing that my children walk in truth
          A                                 B7
And that they are giving you Lord of their fire and strength of youth
           E                 A         E    A
Yes, I've found the greatest joy in my salvation
   E        A      E        B7      E     A  E
Is knowing that my children walk in truth

[Verse 2]
E                     A         E
It's hard to feed someone else when you're hungry
                    A             B7
You can?t teach if you don't understand
        A                           E                       A     
And no one will follow you if you don't live it each day through
      E      A         E        B7          E   A  E
A frightened child won?t hold a trembling hand

[Chorus/Outro]
        A                              E
And my greatest joy is knowing that my children walk in truth
          A                                 B7
And that they are giving you Lord of their fire and strength of youth
           E                 A         E    A
Yes, I've found the greatest joy in my salvation
   E        A      E        B7      E     A  E
Is knowing that my children walk in truth
      E                   A        E      A
Yes I found the greatest joy in my salvation
   E        A      E        B7      E      A  E
Is knowing that my children walk in truth
