Little oceanographer,
let’s take a trip to the sea.
Down, down, down under the waves
lies an amazing world to explore.

The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
—Psalm 95:5, niv

Out the window,
you will see
the wonders God has made.

Little oceanographer,

The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.

Out the window,
you will see
the wonders God has made.
