The Lyrics
The original lyrics to “They Call the Wind Mariah” were written by Alan Jay Lerner; the original music was written by Frederick Loewe. The first copyright was 1951, as near as I could determine.
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.
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.

Great syllable matching and rhymes, but needed more, um, 'second punning'...
Amen. Thank you for sharing this uplifting opus, Terry.
Nice work! I had to download the original, as this song predates me just a bit...
Very beautiful parody about the ~Holy Trinity~
You are super.
