These are the best years of your life,
Mothers, don't wish them away,
There's no greater joy on earth
Than these little ones at play.
No career can take the place
Of each precious little face,
As you savor all the love that's yours today.
These are the best years of your life,
Reject the lures and lies.
There's no thrill outside your door
That compares with what's inside.
The fulfillment that you seek
Is yours seven days a week
Through the children that God gave
to bless your life.
O turn back to the way it's meant to be,
Seek God's plan and the truth will set you free.
Death to self will bring forth life,
Joy is found in sacrifice,
Embrace the very best years of your life.
These are the best years of your life,
Just let contentment start.
You can touch unnumbered souls
Just by guiding your child’s heart.
To be faithful in the task
Will bring joy that really lasts,
In eternal blessings you are taking part.
O turn back to the way it's meant to be.
Seek God's plan and the truth will set you free.
Death to self will bring forth life,
Joy is found in sacrifice.
Embrace the very best years of your life.
Just embrace these very best years of your life.
