If I go climbing, climbing, climbing.
If I go climbing, God is there.
If I go climbing on the highest mountain,
God is there ’cause He is everywhere.
If I go rowing, rowing, rowing.
If I go rowing, God is there.
If I go rowing on the widest river,
God is there ’cause He is everywhere.
If I go swimming, swimming, swimming.
If I go swimming, God is there.
If I go swimming to the bottom of the ocean,
God is there ’cause He is everywhere.
If I go driving, driving, driving.
If I go driving, God is there.
If I go driving far away.
God is there, ’cause He is everywhere.
If I go flying, flying, flying.
If I go flying, God is there.
If I go flying on the biggest aeroplane,
God is there, ’cause He is everywhere.
If I go sleeping, sleeping, sleeping.
If I go sleeping, God is there.
If I go sleeping on the darkest night,
God is there, ’cause He is everywhere.
