Thought for the Week: Words in my head

G Gordon Steel reflects on words that come into his head

by G Gordon Steel 2nd January 2015

As I walk in the park or drive the car alone I often find words coming into my head. Usually they have tunes attached and I sing or hum or whistle: O thou who camest from above…; My God I thank thee who hast made the world so bright…; even the odd Christmas carol. The words and tunes are embedded in my memory and keep coming to the surface. Strange, really, because it is decades since I gave up thinking and expressing my faith in those terms.
