Theology of a Three and Five Year Old

Every night when I tuck the girls into bed, they always ask me to sing the “Daddy Song.” I’m not sure how it came to be the “Daddy Song,” but “You Are God Alone” is the actual title. The chorus says:

“You are God Alone
From before time began
You were on Your throne
And You were God alone
And right now
In the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
And You are God alone.”

We have been singing this song at bedtime for at least a year now. But a couple of nights ago, as I was finishing up the song, Tessa, with a concerned look on her face, said, “God is not alone, he’s with Jesus.” And Claire added, “He’s also with us and everybody and every animal on earth too. He’s even with people in heaven!”

I love it. Obviously, they were hearing the song as if God were all alone, but still, I love that Tessa’s compassionate heart wanted to make sure God was not alone. And I love that Claire knows God is with her – and even with people in heaven! I like that Claire’s first reaction is to know that the God of the universe is concerned about her. He’s not just a far away God, but one that is here on earth with her.

Faith like a child. It’s beautiful. And inspiring.

Out of the mouth of babes; we can learn so much from children sometimes.
