about

This track is all about being a Vicar (or curate in Anglican language), preparing sermons, translating greek, applying a Lutheran hermeneutic to one's sermons etc. etc.

I wrote this track while on vicarage in 2019. I would love to have done a video clip for it. But the finances are just not feasible at the moment. So here it is. God bless.

lyrics

Sermon Prep: Shake It Off Parody.
V1.
I stay up too late.
I got a sermon on my brain.
It’s what my Vicar Father says. Mmm mmm.
Yeah that’s what Fraser says. Mmm Mmm.
Mediation is the way.
The Lectionary for Sunday.
Translate the Greek after I pray. Mmm. Mmm.
… The Greek After I pray. Mmm mmm.

Pre-Ch.
I often Stumble. It’s so hard to be humble. (2nd time? ‘it’s too hard to be humble’)
I got this manuscript that I wrote last night
(man) I think it’s gonna be alright.
Ch.
Cos the Vicar’s gotta preach preach preach preach preach.
Law and Gospel gotta teach teach teach teach teach teach.
Gonna follow Dr. Pietsch Pietsch Pietsch Pietsch Pietsch.
With my sermon prep. Sermon prep. (Triplet slowed)

An Pastor Fraser[’s] gonna say say say say say.
Vicar Peter you (be) makin’ me gray gray gray gray.
Dr. Pfeiffer’s gonna pray pray pray pray.
For my sermon prep. Sermon prep.

V2.
I never miss the Greek.
That’s why I exegete.
I pick a function and theme. Mmm mmm.
I’m preachin’ on my own.
Got the Bishop on the phone.
I say the text is on the throne. Mmm. Mmm.
…the text is on the throne.
Pre. →Ch.
Bridge. (spoken)‘Hey hey hey—jus think while you been getting down with sermons that ‘tickle ya ears’ you could’a been getitin down with some confessional, Christologically centred, Law-Gospel preaching.
Rap.
Book of Concord in the Latin and German,
My Vicarfather red penned my sermon
I don’t mind cos I know [that] I’m learning,
Keeps me humble when the pulpit is burning.
(haha)
(This is most certainly true.)
