1 God is in heaven, can he hear
A feeble prayer like mine,
Yes, little child, thou needst not fear,
He listeneth to thine.
God is in heaven, can he see,
When I am doing wrong,
Yes, that he can, he looks at thee,
All day and all night long.

2 God is in heaven, would he know,
If I should tell a lie?
Yes, if thou saidst it very low,
He'd hear it in the sky.
God is in heaven, does he care,
Or is he good to me?
Yes, all thou hast to eat or wear,
'Tis God that giveth thee.

3 God is in heaven, can I go
To thank him for his care?
Not yet, but love him here below,
And he will see it there.
God is in heaven, may I pray,
To go there when I die?
Yes, love, be good, and then one day,
He'll call thee to the sky.
