No greater joy when my children walk in Truth,
No greater sorrow when they don’t
No greater joy when they love the Lord I love,
No greater heartbreak when they won’t.
No greater joy when persistent prayer is answered,
No greater privilege to pray.
No greater work as we fight the battle for them,
Trusting He will answer one great day.
No greater joy when they tell us they are praying,
Reading the Word and digging in.
No greater news when they choose a godly lifestyle,
No greater battle can they win.
No greater wonder when we watch the Holy Spirit
Power and equip them for their days.
And no greater joy when they’ll stand with us in Glory
As we offer our Lord Jesus all the praise.
No greater joy when my children walk in Truth,
No greater sorrow when they don’t
No greater joy when they love the Lord I love,
No greater heartbreak when they won’t.
