For the past couple of weeks, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" has been popping in and out of my head. (Major shout-out to the talent of Paul Simon!) Of course, we all want people in our lives who are willing to make--and more importantly KEEP--these lyrical promises. This song has to be one of the greatest love songs of all time: "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend." (John 15:13) Yet, only Jesus is 100% able to come through for us. 1 Timothy 2:5 says, "There is one mediator between God and man, the man Jesus Christ."
Last night as I was looking up the lyrics for this post, I became totally distracted watching movies of Simon and Garfunkel, to the point where I am only just getting around to posting this 24 hours later. Isn't Art Garfunkel fascinating looking in all three movies below? He raises his eyebrows to someone at 1:34 in the first video and cracks me up. Well, the second video does also manage to be simultaneously hysterical and magnificent. I wish I could have been there! I do like the original duet version the best though I didn't include it in these selections. You should spend $0.99 and buy it on iTunes if you don't know it.
P.S. For you Wesley House people, in this last video, doesn't Art look like the love child (if that were biologically possible) of Chris Hamblin and Deane Simpson? I had to put all three videos because I couldn't decide which I like best.
And a bonus of "America":
