I always liked this song. Lately, I have been listening to it over and over again. It has inspired me. I often wondered if Paul Simon had ever read this Scripture from Isaiah before he wrote this song.
“When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.”
Isaiah 43:2
I picture walking toward a river, and I notice Jesus standing right at the river with his hands stretched toward me at the only place to cross, and the river is rapid.
That is my Bridge Over Troubled Water.
