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
