Hope Summit Christian Church

Have you ever been so excited about something that you burst
into song? Maybe it happened more when you were a kid, singing
about a grilled cheese sandwich or a trip to the playground.

The Israelites were so grateful for the miracle God had done
that they sang a song. They praised God’s awesome power and
celebrated God’s victory.

Sometimes kids forget to say thank you. We can them capture a
sense of joy and wonder—and burst into song to thank their
awesome God!
