A "How-To" for Christians....from an Athiest

Today is District Children's Talent at Church

So we're off...with artwork in tow:

...and scripture passage firmly in mind (hopefully)! Here is what the kiddo will (hopefully) be quoting today. It's really quite lovely.

Praise the Lord, O my soul;

all my inmost being, praise His holy name!

Praise the Lord, O my soul,

and forget not all his benefits -

who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,

who redeems your life from the pit

and crowns you with love and compassion.

Who satisfies your desires with good things

so that your youth is renewed like the eagles.

-- Psalm 103:1-5

Life Began in a Garden...

I come to the garden alone

While the dew is still on the roses

And the voice I hear falling on my ear

The Son of God discloses.

Refrain

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,

And He tells me I am His own;

And the joy we share as we tarry there,

None other has ever known.

He speaks, and the sound of His voice,

Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,

And the melody that He gave to me

Within my heart is ringing.

Refrain

I’d stay in the garden with Him

Though the night around me be falling,

But He bids me go;

through the voice of woe

His voice to me is calling.

Refrain
