Super-Zwinglian-Calvinistic-Eucharistic-Notion,
For a Zwinglian or a Calvinist, it's part of their devotion
If you say it's Lutheran, you'll always cause commotion,
Super-Zwinglian-Calvinistic-Eucharistic-Notion!


When I was just a little lad, about the age of seven,
Me father said Christ wasn't here, that He was up in Heaven,
So when I took the Supper, and ate the bread and wine,
I didn't get the bod'ly Christ, but only the divine!
Super-Zwinglian-Calvinistic-Eucharistic-Notion!


On Sundays, when my faith was firm, I lifted up my face
And looked above to heav'n, which was Jesus' dwelling place,
Assurance and the strengthening of faith was up to me,
Effected by the bread and wine, as signs externally!
Super-Zwinglian-Calvinistic-Eucharistic-Notion!


A Lutheran came into our town, proclaiming presence real.
He said that Jesus' blood and body both were in the meal.
Christ bids we eat and drink in order that the sacrament
Grant us holy absolution which is the meal's intent!
Super-Zwinglian-Calvinistic-Eucharistic-Notion!


Now the Gospel all is new as I receive communion,
I eat Christ's body and His blood in sacramental union,
I see the light, I now am Lutheran, but here is now the twist:
Am I Gnesio-Lutheran or a Crypto-Calvinist?

very interesting....

I was actually able to "sing" the song in my head---pretty impressive, really. It's not easy to rewrite songs and have them still singable.

Oh goodness. I almost fell out of my chair when I read this . I will try it now.

In Christ,

I tried to sing Amazing Grace to the Gilligan's Island tune, but I kept reverting to the Gilligan song. I had to get a hymnal out and look at the words for Amazing Grace while I sang. Then I was able to do it easily.

I laughed and then called a number of friends and sang it to them over the phone. It was a blast, but now they all doubt my sanity.

Thanks,
Kenith

Can you blame them? Did you actually talk to them first, or just burst straight into song as soon as they picked up?
