On the playground

Patricia L. Wilkin

When I'm climbing on the climberTill I can't climb any higher,God is there!When I'm playing in the sandboxOr I'm swinging on the tire,God is there!When I'm walking on the balance beamOr sliding down the slide,When I'm crawling through the tunnel pipeOr curling up inside,I'm as safe as I can be,For God is always there, you see—His love and truth are everywhere,Taking perfect care of me!
