Puddles

Verse
You taught me when I was little
Jump the puddle don’t soil my shoes
You told me that I could do it
I had two strong hands that I could use
For you held me by my left hand
And Christ Jesus He held my right
You looked at me then you smiled
So I jumped with all my might

Chorus
The puddles seemed too wide
The puddles seemed too deep
And though they made me cry
They never made me weak
Whenever there were puddles
I put my trust in Christ
He gave me strength to jump them
These puddles in my life

Verse
I know I’ve had many problems
I’ve experienced in my short life
But I think of them as puddles
With two strong hands I know no strife
I remember all you taught me
I close my eyes and then I jump
Puddles that looked like mountains
In my eyes were just little bumps

Chorus
The puddles seemed too wide
The puddles seemed too deep
And though they made me cry
They never made me weak
Whenever there were puddles
I put my trust in Christ
He gave me strength to jump them
These puddles in my life

Verse
So, please don’t you worry about me
For I am in the best of hands
Not afraid of jumping puddles
I know Jesus has special plans

Chorus
The puddles may seem wide
The puddles may seem deep
And though they make me cry
They'll never make me weak
Whenever there are puddles
I'll put my trust in Christ
He'll give me strength to jump them
These puddles in my life
