How Will They Know?

Holly Came to Visit us on Saturday

Tonight Jared and I sang together a most beautiful song with a most beautiful message. I love singing with my husband. We have committed to singing together more... We won't always be able to sing for others like tonight, but we can sing here in our home. We want to sing together everyday. We have been singing together for over 22 years, since before we were married.

How Will They Know

How will they know,
The ones for whom we care,
That God is love and with us everywhere,
That life is good,
with blessings all can share?
How will they know unless we teach them so?

How will they learn that,
though they go astray,
God will forgive and help them find the way?
How will they feel
the Spirit day by day?
How will they know unless we teach them so?

How will they grow
in wisdom and delight?
How will they choose
to follow what is right?
How can they trust
the future will be bright?
How will they know
unless we show them?

How will they live
when they at last are grown?
What will they give
to children of their own?
Will they reflect
the values we have shown?
How will they know,
as on through life they go?

How will they know
unless we strive to teach them so?
