Christian poems for preschoolers are great! Here is one called “You Protect Me.”
I have always loved Psalm 32:7, which says: “You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” All of us want to feel safe and protected. It’s one of our most basic needs. Preschoolers especially need to know that they are being well taken care of. Just knowing that they are in safe surroundings with safe people can calm much of their anxiety. Christian poems for preschoolers are fun and this one will help your little ones learn about the different kinds of people who are always ready and willing to protect them such as the fireman, policeman and doctor. You may want to find some pictures of each person to show while saying the poem.
You Protect Me I’m glad, dear God, you always keep me safe You hold me and protect me Your Word says you watch over me This makes me very happy I’m also glad you’ve given friends That care about me too Like the fireman, policeman And the lifeguard at the pool Each of these special friends of mine Help me be safe and have some fun They work around my neighborhood Let me tell you about each one The fireman wears a suit of red He must be fast and strong He’s always ready to stop a fire And would help if things went wrong The policeman drives a car with a siren He often wears black or blue He wears an shiny badge on his chest And protects me from dangers too The doctor is God’s special helper I go to him when I feel ill He’s gentle and kind and cares for me And could help me if I fell down a hill A friend who helps me cross the street Is the patient crossing guard He makes sure all the cars stand still So crossing the street is never hard One of my favorite friends is my teacher I learn new thing each day Like being careful and sharing my toys I’ve learned to be safe when I play My family also cares for me For me they try to do what’s best Like keep me safe and warm and dry They want me to be blessed My favorite friend of all is God With Him I share my heart I’m always safe within His arms From me He’ll never part If you liked this Sunday School/Homeschooling idea, then sign up to receive Scripture Lady’s Free Email Kid Tips packed full with creative ideas and receive 6 FREE Bible Review Games to help get the kids you minister to excited about the Bible!

Hi Joyce,
Thank you so much for your encouraging words. Giving “extra ideas” is kind of what I’m all about. Every curriculum usually needs a little help now and then.
Blessings,

Kathy. The Bible lesson book my church is using is full of lessons on Christmas from here on out. Since I don’t want my kids to think they’re getting the same lesson every week, your suggestions will help me give them a little extra. My kids are a little older, but I can still use some things such as this poem. Thanks.
