I Know You Are, But What Am I?

I Know You Are, But What Am I?

I know you are up in the sky,

Shining oh so bright.

God put you there, way up high

To guide us in the night.

I know you are, but what am I?

I know you are so tall and wide

God put you in the ground.

Your branches reach from side to side,

We climb them to look around.

I know you are, but what am I?

I know you are so deep and blue,

God made you on day three.

Ships are made to sail on you,

And you stretch farther than I can see.

I know you are, but what am I?

I am black and I am white,

I'm like the star that burns at night.

I am a child that needs you love,

Created by the God above.

I am red and I am brown,

I'm like the tree that's in the ground.

I am a child that needs to grow,

I want to learn, His word to know.

I have a purpose and a light,

I want to shine, forever bright.

Help plant me firmly, safe and sound,

A vessel lost, but now is found.
