Songs for God: A Kids Bible Story from Psalms About Praising God, Praying, and Feeling Safe. KJV Verses Included. Ages 3-8

Right in the middle of the Bible there is a songbook. One hundred and fifty songs, and every single one of them is sung straight to God.A shepherd boy called David wrote a lot of them. He made them up out on the hills with a little wooden lyre while he watched the sheep, and he never sang them to a crowd first. He sang them to God.The psalms are not all cheerful, and that is the surprising part. Some of them are loud and glad and full of trumpets and drums. Some were written in the dark by somebody who was frightened and said so out loud. Some are people saying sorry. Some are people getting impatient and asking God how much longer they have to wait. God kept all of them, the happy ones and the hard ones, in the same book.Along the way they say some of the best-loved things anybody has ever said about God. That He looks after us the way a good shepherd looks after his sheep, finding the green grass and the quiet water. That He is a safe place to run to, like a little bird tucked under a wing. That the night sky has been telling everybody how great He is since the very first evening, without using one word. And right at the end, that everything which breathes should join in.Inside this book: - A boy on a green hillside making up songs for God with a little wooden lyre- The most famous psalm of all, with a shepherd, green grass and quiet water- A hiding place to run to, and a hen with her chicks under her wings- Songs for being frightened at night, for being sorry, and for waiting- A night sky full of stars that has been singing about God all along- Trumpets, drums, cymbals, and everything that breathes joining in at the end- A King James Version verse to learn together, with the reference- Three questions, words to know, a short prayer, and a Read It Yourself page for ages 8 to 12Written for ages 3 to 8 to be read aloud, with a back page of King James Version psalms for older readers of 8 to 12 to look up on their own.Book 19 of 66 in KJV Bible Adventures for Kids - one picture book for every book of the Bible, in order, from Genesis to Revelation.From Guy Charlie Books, a small, veteran-owned publisher.
