Planet Earth, God made a blue and green sphere,
And designed it to orbit the sun once a year.
God made daytime and nighttime, climates and seasons,
And all kinds of weather that vary by region.
God made continents and oceans, islands and seas,
A north and south pole that God put in deep freeze.
God carved rivers and brooks, mountains and caves,
Made beaches with sand and huge crashing waves.
God made tropics and plateaus, glaciers and meadows,
marshes and tundras and erupting volcanos.
