Lyrics
Verse 1 — The Mountains
I climbed the mountain, high and steep,
Where the quiet valleys sleep.
Who piled the rocks so high and grand?
The mighty hand of Yahweh's hand!
Chorus
Oh, the world He made, the world He made!
Every color, every shade!
From the mountain to the sea,
Yahweh made it all for me!
Verse 2 — The Ocean
I stood beside the rolling sea,
Its waves came dancing up to me.
Who taught the waters where to go?
Yahweh did — the sea waves know!
(Chorus)
Verse 3 — The Stars
I counted stars till I lost track,
A million white, a million black.
Who hung each lantern in the sky?
Yahweh did — He's way up high!
(Chorus)
Verse 4 — Me
I looked inside my wondering heart,
And found Him there, the greatest part.
Who made the one who's singing free?
Yahweh did — He made me!
(Chorus, big finish)
Teaching Note
This song trains observation — the curriculum's science thread begins here. Take the class outside after learning it: find one thing Yahweh made and sing its verse to it. Wonder is the beginning of knowledge.
