Sound of Praying

A religious parody of "Sound of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel

Hello Mary my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
For a depression softly creeping
Within my soul has been steeping
And the thorn that was planted in my heart
Now takes a part
In the sound of praying

In restless dreams I walk alone
Far off the path your son has shown
But the angel took my hand and stayed
And kept awake until I obeyed
So that the demons wouldn’t have, my body, my soul, my all
Under thrall
Gone from the sound of praying

Under your patient care I am
Given to you by the lamb
While he hung dying upon the tree
He showed his everlasting love for thee
With every painful breath he gave you comfort ’til he died
With a last sigh
And the sound of praying

Though fool I am, I know, I know!
The love I have for him does grow
The words he spoke still do teach me
His miracles still do reach me
And even the pain from every one of my sins
Draws me within
To the sound of praying

When every knee and nation fall
Every voice with praise shall call
Upon the presence of the holy name
That freed us from the devil’s deadly game
Dear mother Mary, with your son beheld by all
Silence falls
Then starts the song of praying

God bless,

>P<

His feet go on

Parody of Sonny and Cher's "The beat goes on"




CHORUS:
His feet go on, His feet go on
Angels singing praise on the narrow lane
La de da de de, la de da de da

Against the merchants He did rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
Always doing the right thing, uh huh
In the manger is our newborn king, uh huh

Chorus

Crucifiction was His part, uh huh
His mother crying broke His heart, uh huh
And with His blood He won the eternal war
His sacrifice did put to rest our score

Chorus

And every Sunday the Church does reminisce
Judas did betray Him with a kiss
People keep going faster all the time
While He cries "hey brother, have you got a dime"

Chorus




God bless,

Joyful Mysteries, kinda.

So, um. Before you read this I'd like you to say a prayer for me, because you may not want to afterwards.





To the tune of We will rock you by Queen.

Mary little girl, heard from Gabriel
Blessed virgin pure, gonna be God's momma someday
A radiant face, full of grace
Said yes to the Lord without fear of disgrace

(Chorus)
Jesus, Jesus love you (2x)

To Elizabeth's town, Mary came around
Blessed of women, gonna be so from this day
Giver of grace, of sin no trace
Helps sinners everywhere with gracious haste

Chorus

To House of Bread was sent, Ark of Covenant
Innkeepers had no room, gotta give birth anyway
Mother of Grace, in a lowly place
Gave birth to her Lord and saw His divine face

Chorus

Simeon did sing, praise to God his king
Said of Mother's heart, gonna be pierced through someday
In a sorrowful place, with a wrinkled face
Filled with grief as much as filled with grace

Chorus

At the Paschal feast, prophet king and priest
Showed to all His call, gonna do His Father's work someday
Joe and Mary haste, frown on her face
To find Christ teaching in the temple place

Chorus

Guitar solo

God bless,
