We Call The Son Messiah

This is an unpublished song set to "They Call The Wind Mariah" by The Kingston Trio.


 

WE CALL THE SON MESSIAH
 
(Set to the song They Call the Wind Mariah.
Original lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner; original music by Frederick Loewe, 1951, 1979).
 
They Call The Wind Mariah was popularized in albums by The Kingston Trio, and in the movie Paint Your Wagon.
 
These modified lyrics:  copyright, Terry P. Rizzuti, 2005-2009
 
 
The Father, Son, the Holy Ghost – a Trilogy up higher.
The Father’s God, the Ghost inspires, and they call the Son Messiah.
 
Messiah! Messiah!
They call the Son Messiah.
 
Messiah makes the moon shine bright and sets the sun afire.
Messiah hear this call to You, my soul is out here cryin’:
 
Messiah! Messiah!
Where is the Son Messiah?
 
Before I knew Messiah’s name or heard His call arisin’,
I had no faith, but faith sought me – I felt it all up-risin’.
 
And then one day I felt that faith.
I felt it there inside me.
Now I’m not lost, alone and lost,
At last the Lord has found me.
 
Messiah! Messiah!
We call the Son Messiah.
 
Out here the Word’s the Trilogy – the Father, Son and Spirit.
And when you’re lost, alone and lost, all you have to do is hear it.
Now I’m a free and loving soul, and have a star to guide me.
Messiah sent His love to me, and I found my faith inside me.
 
Messiah! Messiah!
We call the Son Messiah.
Messiah! Messiah!
We call the Son Messiah.
 
We call the Son Messiah.
We call the Son Messiah.
