As he watched over them, he loved to play his harp and sing songs to God.<\/p>\n  <p>David&#8217;s music was so beautiful and peaceful that he was called to play for King Saul whenever the king felt troubled or sad. As David&#8217;s harp rang out, the king&#8217;s heart would grow calm and quiet again.<\/p>\n  <p>David&#8217;s songs became some of the Psalms we still read in the Bible today. And many years later, from David&#8217;s own family, Jesus the Saviour would be born. David shows us that even a young person, with a simple gift, can bring comfort to others and praise to God.<\/p>\n\n  <blockquote class=\"lwc-verse\">\n    &#8220;The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.&#8221;\n    <cite>Psalm 23:1<\/cite>\n  <\/blockquote>\n\n  <h2>Colour &amp; Chat<\/h2>\n  <p>While you colour, here are a few things to wonder about together:<\/p>\n  <ul class=\"lwc-tips\">\n    <li>David is playing a harp &mdash; can you count the strings?<\/li>\n    <li>He sang to God out in the fields.
