Faith and I were running errands yesterday morning when a familiar song came on the radio. It's already received a Lutheran treatment, but I couldn't resist. So here it is...
Panicked Sunday
(Parody of "Manic Monday")
Five A.M. on Sunday
And I hope I can finally click "Print."
I've been writing now for hours.
I have no clue where last week went.
I'm exhausted but
Of course there's never time for a nap.
These are the days
When you wish you were some other sap.
It's just another panicked Sunday--
My "sermon's not done" day--
"I'm under the gun" day--
"My cassock weighs a ton" day.
It's just another panicked Sunday.
In the study Monday morn,
Knelt down for my daily prayer.
And then I read the lection and
I start pulling out all my hair.
"Law and Gospel" is open and
I read so I know how to preach.
But come Sunday morn
You can bet I'd rather be at the beach.
It's just another panicked Sunday--
My "sermon's not done" day--
"I'm under the gun" day--
"My cassock weighs a ton" day.
It's just another panicked Sunday.
All of those days
Why did my pastor have to say
I should go to sem?
(You should. You should.)
Doesn't it matter
That I thought the Yankees would have me
Pitching for them?
Alarm rings and it's time to go.
C'mon, preacher. Let's drive off the Foe.
Time--it goes so fast
(When there's nothing done.)
It's just another panicked Sunday--
My "sermon's not done" day--
"I'm under the gun" day--
"My cassock weighs a ton" day.
It's just another panicked Sunday--
My "sermon's not done" day--
"I'm under the gun" day--
It's just another panicked Sunday.
