The joy of singing

A priest decided to try something a little different.

He said, "Today, 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 the hymn that comes to your mind"

He shouted out,

"CROSS."

Immediately the congregation started singing in unison, "THE OLD RUGGED CROSS."


The priest hollered,

"GRACE."

The congregation began to sing "AMAZING GRACE."

The priest said,

"POWER."

The congregation sang "THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD."

The priest said,

"SEX."

The congregation fell into 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, way in the back of the church, a little old 89 year old grandmother stood up and began to sing...


"MEMORIES."
