‘I did it, Yah—–weh’
As many at the 8:30 service let me know, the musical offering on Sunday was even better than the sermon. Here’s a reworked version of the Sinatra classic ‘My Way.’ Jason Gottshall sang as Old Blue Eyes and Andreas Barrett wrote the lyrics.
Scroll ahead to the 3:50 mark to get to the singing.
Here, without permission, are Andreas’ hilarious lyrics. Don’t tell him it’s the best song he’s ever written. He’ll cry.
And now, the time is here and I must face a fate uncertain.My God, it’s more than clear before too long I may be hurtin’,Some say I am a fool for heading down this barren highway,But I will walk in faith and do it, Yah-weh.Regrets, I’ll have a few and then some more, that’s my impression.And Lord, I’m not amused by this sartorial regression.If given any choice, I think I’d much prefer the shy way,But I will walk the line and do it, Yah-weh. [note the Johnny Cash reference]There will be days, I’m sure to find, when I’ll seek refuge for my behind,But through it all, though I may fear, you’ve got my back, if not my rear.I’ll heed the call, my All in All, and do it, Yah-weh.Dear God on high, you are a hoot to cast me in my birthday suit.But I believe in what you say and who you are, come what may.The record shows I don’t need clothes to do it, Yah-weh!I praise you, Yah-weh.
