When teens came to visit in our home, if they so much as
mentioned the name 'God', I'd let them know I was fully prepared
to discuss Him, if they'd like; and if they had any questions,
I'd try to help answer that, too.  But, if they weren't ready to
discuss Him, they needn't bring up His name.  And of course, it
wasn't long before my eldest warned all her friends, before they
came into the house, to clean up their mouth and they did.  And,
they enjoyed themselves enough that they didn't seem to mind
holding their tongue, either.

Now, if this only worked for adults!  Only, I'd really rather
share about my God.

(suggested midi - My God is Real)

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God,
my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my
salvation, and my high tower.

O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.  For in
thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast
done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be
reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of
them, they are more than can be numbered.

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my
heart.  I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy
truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy
One of Israel.

Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for
herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord
of hosts, my King, and my God.  For a day in thy courts is better
than a thousand.  I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my
God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will
glorify thy name for evermore.  I will say of the Lord, He is my
refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Bless the Lord, O my soul.  O Lord my God, thou art very great;
thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise
to my God while I have my being.

Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will
exalt thee.  I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless
thy name for ever and ever.  While I live will I praise the Lord:
I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy
name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old
are faithfulness and truth.  Therefore I will look unto the Lord;
I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me ...
and he will hear you, too.
