Quarantine has been very hard for a lot of people, to the point that pretty much everything you do now is online. Making online shopping easier but what about worshiping?
That’s why this priest decided to make a parody of ‘You’ll Be Back’, from the immensely popular Broadway musical Hamilton. Hamilton is a musical that took Broadway by storm and found millions of new fans after it was added on Disney+.
Hamilton explores the life of Alexander Hamilton, one of the founding fathers of the United States. If you have watched Hamilton, then you are familiar with King George III. King George is a bit of a comic relief in the show. And His song, “You’ll Be Back” is a fan favorite.
In this video, Reverend Lonnie Lacy, rector of St. Anne’s Episcopal Church in Tifton, Georgia, makes his own version of ‘You’ll Be Back.’ The priest dances all around as he sings his funny version of this song.
Originally, the song was about King George III who was in distress about America, and how they fought for independence. King George thought that the American colonists would be back once the rebellion ended, but he was wrong.
The priest however turned the song into his way of reminding church-goers who miss the fellowship of their congregation, that this is just a temporary season we are experiencing.
“You’ll be back, with your friends,
and you’ll belt out all your favorite hymns.
You’ll say your prayers and pass the peace,
even with the ones you like the least.”
This priest seemed like he had a fantastic time making this parody, and it will for sure make people smile and warm their hearts.
With more than 1.4 million views, the priest has become quite a viral celebrity himself, as well as making people’s days better. Hopefully, it won’t be too much longer until COVID-19 is over, so we can enjoy a day at the park and church on Sunday!
