about
Hello All,
Grace and peace.
Here is the project myself and some fellow ALC students have been working on during the mid-semester break. The purpose of this video clip is to highlight what is distinctive and exciting about Lutheran theology, such as liturgical practice and gestures, rites, vestments, catechesis, the sacraments, adiaphora, Law and Gospel, ecumenical discussion, Lutheran Confessions, the catholic faith, apostolic succession and of course—studying at ALC! While many things in a church service may be adiaphora, they serve a purpose for the '...sake of good order.' It has been an unmerited gift and privilege to be a part of this production and I pray it serves the wider LCA, generates healthy discussion and reminds us of all of what is virtuous in the tradition of Lutheranism.
Blessings.
Pete-
lyrics
Lutheran All Star: (Parody. Orig. by Smash Mouth)
V1.
Somebody once told me the sacraments are only,
a symbol of what they represent.
She was looking kinda dumb, singing Lent,
Ash Wednesday songs, with a black charcoal cross on her forehead.
Pre:
Well, the sin starts coming and it won't stop coming.
Confession-absolution is only thing runnin’.
Did it make sense not to get baptized?
You know God's word and you're catechized.
So much to teach, so much to preach,
so what's wrong with saying the Lord's Prayer?
The liturgy helps you learn.
God's word so you can discern.
Chorus 1:
Hey now you're Pastor, get ya preach on, Christ saves,
Hey now you're Lutheran, take communion, go pray,
The book of concord is gold
Only law and Gospel saves the soul.
V2.
ALC is a cold-place and they it gets colder,
You don't like chapel wait till you get older.
But Dr Pietsch begs to differ,
judging by the adiaphora to consider.
The class you're in is gettin' pretty small,
Richards Haar’s new perspective on Paul,
And we could all use a little grace--------
Chorus 2:
Hey now you're Pastor, get ya alb on, Christ saves,
Hey now you're Lutheran, take communion, go pray,
The book of concord is gold
Only law and Gospel saves the soul.
Bridge.
Chorus 3:
Hey now you're Pastor, get ya preach on, Christ saves,
Hey now you're Lutheran, take communion, go pray,
The book of concord is gold
Only law and Gospel saves the soul.
V3.
A catholic once asked could I spare some bread for mass,
I got a service comin’ later today?
I said "yep, what a concept, I could use a little Christ myself,
But we don’t wanna tran-sub-stan-tiate."
Well, the sin starts coming and it won't stop coming.
Confession-absolution is only thing runnin’.
Did it make sense not to get baptized?
You know God's word and you're catechized.
So much to teach, so much to preach,
so what's wrong with saying the lord's prayer?
The liturgy helps you learn. (Learn!)
God's word so can discern.
Chorus 3:
Hey now you're Pastor, get ya alb on, Christ saves,
Hey now you're Lutheran, take communion, go pray,
The book of concord is gold
Only law and Gospel saves the soul.
