#611: I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
What is your association with this song?
So many years ago, during Lent, my church sung the second verse (Jesus gives the living water) every week as kind of a theme for the season.
Towards the end of the season, my mom preached a sermon, and I (as a young kid) made an appearance. I'd been sick, went to the bathroom in the middle of the night for a drink of cold water, and promptly vomited it back up. So my mom turned that into a metaphor about "are we doomed to not accept the healing Jesus gives us." (No.)
What was the deal?
As a little kid I was like "well maybe it was just too cold and a shock to my system, I should have tried something lukewarm." In retrospect, I'm guessing that was an early forerunner of my nauseating migraines. :(
