Church Hymns by Word Association
A minister decided to do something a little different one Sunday morning. He
said,
“Today, in Church, I am going to say a single word and you are going to
help me preach. Whatever single word I say, I want you to sing whatever hymn
comes to your mind.”
The pastor shouted out,
“Cross.”
Immediately the congregation started singing in unison,
“The Old
Rugged Cross.”
The pastor hollered out
“Grace.”
The congregation began to sing,
“Amazing
Grace, how sweet the sound.”
The pastor said,
“Power.”
The congregation sang,
“There is
Power in the Blood.”
The Pastor said,
“Sex.”
The congregation fell in total silence. Everyone was in shock. They all
nervously began to look around at each other afraid to say anything. Then all of
a sudden, from the very back of the Church, a little old 87-year-old grandmother
stood up and began to sing,
“Precious
Memories.”
