Good Morning Liturgy

Because this is what I do when I should be memorizing Greek declensions and Tone 5. (To the tune of Good Morning Baltimore):

SINNER
Oh, oh, oh
Woke up today
Feeling the way I always do
Oh, oh, oh
Hungry for something
That I can eat
(Not dairy or meat!)
The bells call their song
Now it won’t be long,
It's like a message from
High above
Oh, oh, oh
Calling me out
To the smiles and the
Saints that I love

SINNER (& CHOIR)
Good morning Liturgy!
Sunday's like an open door
Every prayer is so heavenly
Every hymn like a symphony

Good morning Liturgy
And each time when I receive Our Lord
My eyes open wide and I see
The Heavenly Liturgy! 

Oh, oh, oh
Look it’s a feast!
Two hours at least, before we eat!
Oh, oh, oh,
There’s no drummer or praise band - no,
I'm ready to go

The drivers on the road
Provoke and they goad
They seem to say
"Sinner, it's up to you!”
So, oh, oh
Don't hold me back
'Cause today all my prayers will come true

Good morning Liturgy!
There's the Deacon who lives next door
There's the Priest praying morning prayers
Lets leave behind all Earthly cares!

Good morning Liturgy!
And each time when I receive Our Lord
My eyes open wide and I see
The Heavenly Liturgy!

I know every step
I know every song
I know here’s the place where I belong
I see all those saintly lights shining ahead
So Lord, please have mercy
Before I drop dead!

CHOIR
Before she drops dead!

SINNER (& CHOIR)
So, Oh, Oh
Give me a chance
'Cause when they start to chant, I hear angels sing
Oh, oh, oh
Incense and scripture both fill the air
And Our Lord is there

My sin tells me no
But Christ tells me go!
He’s like a shepherd inside my heart
Oh, oh, oh
Don't make me wait
One more moment for my Life to start...

CHOIR
Good morning, good morning
Waiting for my life to start

SINNER (& CHOIR)
I love you Liturgy!
Sunday's like an open door!
Every prayer is so heavenly!
Every hymn like a symphony!

And I promise Liturgy
That some day when
You come back, O Lord
The world's gonna wake up and see
Gonna wake up and see

Liturgy and Thee...
