My Children Walk In Truth Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[INTRO]
[E] [A] [E] [B7] [E] [A] [E]

[VERSE 1]
[E]I prayed to feel more j[A]oy in my sa[E]lvation
A selfish prayer I f[A]inally came to k[B7]now
For the g[A]reatest joy while living comes to [E]me when I am giv[A]ing
Giving c[E]hildren [A]bread of [E]life and [B7]watch them [E]grow [A] [E]

[CHORUS]
And my g[A]reatest joy is knowing that my [E]children walk in truth
And that t[A]hey are giving you Lord of their f[B7]ire and strength of youth
Yes, I've f[E]ound the greatest [A]joy in my [E]salva[A]tion
Is [E]knowing t[A]hat my [E]children [B7]walk in [E]truth [A] [E]

[SOLO]
[E] [A] [E] [B7] [E] [A] [E]

[VERSE 2]
[E]It's hard to feed some[A]one else w[E]hen you're hungry
You can?t teach if y[A]ou don't under[B7]stand
And no o[A]ne will follow you if you do[E]n't live it each day thr[A]ough
A frig[E]htened [A]child won?[E]t hold a [B7]trembling ha[E]nd [A] [E]

[Chorus/Outro]
And my g[A]reatest joy is knowing that my [E]children walk in truth
And that t[A]hey are giving you Lord of their f[B7]ire and strength of youth
Yes, I've f[E]ound the greatest [A]joy in my [E]salva[A]tion
Is [E]knowing t[A]hat my [E]children [B7]walk in [E]truth [A] [E]
Yes I [E]found the greatest j[A]oy in my [E]salvati[A]on
Is [E]knowing t[A]hat my [E]children [B7]walk in [E]truth [A] [E]
