Bare A Pop Opera movie - Epiphany lyrics

<br>

STUDENTS (singing in Latin)<br>

In nomine patris, patris<br>

Amen, amen<br>

In nomine patris, patris<br>

Amen, amen <br>

(or something close...)<br>

<br>

PRIEST<br>

I want to welcome all of you back<br>

I hope Christmas was a time of great joy for you and your families<br>

Today is the Feast of the Epiphany<br>

The celebration of the arrival of the three wise men<br>

To pay homage to the baby Jesus<br>

I want you to imagine what that journey must have been like<br>

A journey resting entirely on fate<br>

That they would know where they were going once they arrived<br>

Imagine what a joy it must have been for them<br>

To finally reach their destination<br>

Seniors, you're coming to an end of your time at St. Cecelia's<br>

<br>

LUCAS<br>

Yeah!<br>

<br>

PRIEST<br>

You've lived together, studied together<br>

And most importantly, prayed together<br>

Strength for the journey<br>

We begin in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit<br>

Let us take a moment now to call to mind those times<br>

When we have fallen from God's grace<br>

I confess...<br>

<br>

PRIEST & STUDENTS<br>

...to almighty God<br>

And to you my brothers and sisters<br>

That...(students continue praying)<br>

<br>

PRIEST<br>

Peter!<br>

You're not fooling anyone!<br>

Being an altar boy by day doesn't forgive what you do at night!<br>

<br>

PETER<br>

And you, my brothers and sisters<br>

Pray for me to the Lord our God!<br>

<br>

LUCAS<br>

One among us dances with the Devil<br>

<br>

NADIA<br>

Loves my brother, God it makes me sick<br>

<br>

???<br>

Seven years in school<br>

<br>

IVY<br>

He's played it cool<br>

<br>

STUDENTS<br>

You can't keep it, tell us your secret<br>

<br>

IVY<br>

And for risking it all on your salvation (?)<br>

I can fix you if you'd like to try<br>

<br>

MATT<br>

Think your actions through<br>

<br>

STUDENTS<br>

What's wrong with you?<br>

So mistaken, lost and forsaken!<br>

Dig down deep and save your soul<br>

Grave mistakes will take their toll<br>

Every sin is entered in<br>

Heaven comes with discipline<br>

<br>

PETER<br>

I've hid it all so well, tell me how you know<br>

<br>

STUDENTS<br>

No more dodging, God is watching<br>

His eye is on the lowly sparrow<br>

The road is long, the path is narrow<br>

<br>

ZACK<br>

Your Catholic rules are not suggestions<br>

<br>

???<br>

Read the Bible<br>

<br>

IVY<br>

Would you speak for God?<br>

<br>

???<br>

Why can't you obey?<br>

<br>

???<br>

You've lost your way<br>

<br>

STUDENTS<br>

Scorned, reviled, waste of a child<br>

<br>

SISTER CHANTELLE?<br>

Time is ticking, graduation day<br>

<br>

IVY<br>

You have five months left to change your mind<br>

<br>

STUDENTS<br>

Lock those thoughts away, it's judgment day<br>

Heaven's never, Hell is forever<br>

Dig down deep and save your soul<br>

Grave mistakes will take their toll<br>

Every sin is entered in<br>

Heaven comes with discipline<br>

<br>

PETER<br>

Doesn't it all make sense if the love is strong?<br>

<br>

STUDENTS<br>

No more dodging, God is watching<br>

His eye is on the lowly sparrow<br>

The road is long, the path is narrow<br>

<br>

CLAIRE<br>

Peter, honey, are you sleeping through mass again?<br>

You know, if you keep this up, you're going straight to hell<br>

<br>

PETER<br>

Mom?<br>

<br>

CLAIRE<br>

Our first reading today is the story of how,<br>

Despite the best efforts of a single mother<br>

A child can still go horribly, horribly wrong<br>

<br>

PETER<br>

Mother, please!<br>

<br>

CLAIRE<br>

For his eighth birthday, Peter asked for an Easy Bake Oven<br>

His father asked for a divorce<br>

To me, the link between those two events was as strong<br>

As Peter's attraction to my makeup table<br>

<br>

PETER<br>

Mom, this really isn't the best...<br>

<br>

CLAIRE<br>

I sent him to a Catholic boarding school thinking it would help<br>

But, when he met his roommate Jason, the two of them locked eyes<br>

And I said to myself, 'Claire, you wanted grandchildren?<br>

Instead you're going to get ambiguous Christmas cards from South Beach'<br>

<br>

IVY?<br>

Please join us in singing our offertory hymn, number 273, 'A Bender Among Us'<br>

<br>

STUDENTS<br>

There's a bender among us, he must be exposed<br>

Or he'll kidnap our children and take off their clothes<br>

There's a bender among us, there's pink in our flock<br>

A boy without conscience, whose led by his...<br>

<br>

CLAIRE<br>

...Cocktail: Peter's second favorite movie<br>

His favorite: Top Gun<br>

The signs were everywhere, we were practically tripping over them<br>

<br>

PETER<br>

Father?<br>

<br>

PRIEST<br>

Not in the funeral, Peter<br>

<br>

MATT?<br>

I'd like to start with just a...<br>

If we could take a moment...<br>

If maybe we were silent...<br>

Or we had spoken...<br>

<br>

PETER<br>

Mom? What is it?<br>

Ivy? Nadia? Matt?<br>

Is it I? Lord, is it I?<br>

<br>

<br>

STUDENTS<br>

Timothy, Romans, Corinthians, Leviticus<br>

Timothy, Romans, Corinthians, Leviticus<br>

Timothy, Romans, Corinthians, Leviticus<br>

Love the sinner, hate the sin, created in his image<br>

Abomination, abomination, abomination, abomination<br>

Bare the cross, bare the cross, bare the cross (?)<br>

<br>

PRIEST<br>

Let us go forth in peace to love and serve the Lord<br>

<br>

STUDENTS<br>

Praise be to God<br>

<br>

PETER<br>

Hail Mary full of grace...<br>

(continues to rapidly pray)<br>

<br>
