Parody of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by Elton John
(Acts 1:1-12, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18)
Picture yourself on the Mount called Olivet
You're standin' with Jesus ... a marvelous time
Then while you talk He begins to rise slowly
And gives you His final goodbyes
Aeroplane flyers are seldomly seen down in Jerusalem then
Look for the Lord with the sun in your eyes and He's gone!
Lookee, in the sky, He's flyin'!
Lookee, in the sky, He's flyin'!
Lookee, in the sky, He's flyin'!
Ohhhhh
Following that there appear on the mountain
A couple of angels in garments so white
"Ye men of Galilee," they say, "please tell us
"How come you still stare at the sky?
"Soon He'll be back, He'll appear as before
"Where He was taken away
"When He comes back, He'll descend through the clouds."
Then they're gone!
Lookee, in the sky, you'll find Him!
Lookee, in the sky, you'll find Him!
Lookee, in the sky, you'll find Him!
Ohhhhh
LEAD
"Soon He'll be back, He'll appear as before
"Where He was taken away
"When He comes back, He'll descend through the clouds."
Then they're gone!
Lookee, in the sky, you'll find ... huh?
Lookee, in the sky, you'll find ... huh?
Lookee, in the sky, you'll find ... huh!
Ohhhhh ohh
Scriptures foretell of a day we'll be taken
"The Rapture," we call it -- it's looking past time
Suddenly trumpets declare His return while
The church will arise to go with Christ
Lookee, in the sky, we're flyin'!
Lookee, in the sky, we're flyin'!
Lookee, in the sky, we're flyin'!
Ohhhhh ohh
Lookee, in the sky, we're flyin'! (Oh oh, just lookee-ee!)
Lookee, in the sky, we're flyin'! (Oh oh, just lookee-ee!)
Lookee, in the sky, we're flyin'! (Oh oh, just lookee-ee!)
Ohhhhh ohh
Acts 1:9
After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him
from their sight.
