Singing In Church

A minister decided to try 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 back of the church, a little old
87-year-old grandmother stood up and began to sing "Precious Memories."
