No Turning "Bed"
"Follow Jesus, follow Jesus. No turning bed, no turning bed."
Hanna has been singing this song lately. Even though her words are few, I figured it out. Her school recently taught this to her, I am sure. "I Have Decided to Follow Jesus" is a simple, classic hymn--that I just discovered originated from India. I just put Hanna down for her nap, but as she was in my arms, I attempted to remember the tune and the words from my childhood. It came back to me. When I got to the part, "no turning back, no turning back," Hanna said, "No! 'No turning bed,' not 'back'." She was sleepy enough that I could get away with continuing to sing the real version until she finally fell asleep. Reminders of the songs from my childhood are coming up often these days as I play and sing with Hanna.
