The other night after I put Aiden to bed, I went to bed to read. After a bit, I realized Aiden was singing a beautiful song in his sweetest little three year-old voice. I listened for a while and then thought to grab my iPad off the nightstand to record what he was saying. The following was sung in his own made up melody:
I don't trust in a bad guy, I trust in Jesus. And Jesus is the one who gave me my armor so I don't be scared. And mommy and daddy buyed me my armor....at the tore, but I don't know what tore.
His name is Jesus, little baby Jesus. Jesus used to be a little baby. And I call him Jesus. Everlasting Jesus. I'm singing a sad song. I don't have a katar (guitar). My katar is at Pop and Kiki's house. Everlasting Fodder.
And now I am singing of God. Everlasting God. He doesn't like to go away. He likes to stay with me if mommy and daddy feed me peanut butter I will get sick and die. And if I die I will be with Jesus.
Mommy and Daddy. That thing keeps going. And God is God, yes he is. There is nothing scary in my room. But my favorite color is purple, it's orange. I'll show mommy what color this is. Everlasting Fodder.

I'll be big like a parent. I still have to be a kid. I've already been a baby. I love God, he is my favorite. I don't need anything. Jesus is da best. He's da best, he's da best. Jesus is da best.
Then he stopped and spoke a prayer:
Jesus thank you for this day. And thank you for this song that I singed for you. Please God. I trust in you, God. I trust in you because bad guys come and I don't like the bad guys. I want to be your buddy. I love you Jesus. Amen. You are 'pecial.
And now I'll sing the first song. Now I will be your friend. And I pray that you will be with Trevor, Nathanael and C4. And help Z....he is very sick. And help his sickness right now to go down in the tunnel. Right now. Yup, down in the tunnel.
Then he was back into song about his John Deere tractor and how he trusts in Jesus.
For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
The faith of a child. Love it!
