"call Me Maybe" - Vocations Edition

Recommended Posts

I can't remember where but someone mentioned doing a Catholic parody version of "Call Me Maybe". I was bored so I decided to make a discernment version:

In Adoration one day,
In the silence I pray,
I looked up at the altar,
And I heard Him say.

You see that Sister right there?
In her habit and veil?
She listened in prayer,
And now I’m calling you.

I want you as mine,
True bread, and the true vine,
For in my path you’ll shine,
Will you come and be my Bride?

Did I just hear that?
No, this is crazy!
Could it really be,
He called me, maybe?

It's hard to think straight,
It’s all so hazy,
Could it really be,
He called me, maybe?

Did I just hear that?
No, this is crazy!
Could it really be,
He called me, maybe?

Poverty and chastity,
Obedience too,
Could it really be,
He called me, maybe?

I will listen to your call,
To you I will give my all,
I will make myself small,
Your light will shine in me.

I ask you mother Mary
Please help me, it’s scary
I didn't know I would hear it,
But He’s calling me.

I am the true vine,
I want you as mine,
In my path you’ll shine,
Will you come and be my Bride?

Did I just hear that?
No, this is crazy!
Could it really be,
He called me, maybe?

It's hard to think straight,
It’s all so hazy,
Could it really be,
He called me, maybe?

Did I just hear that?
No, this is crazy!
Could it really be,
He called me, maybe?

Poverty and chastity,
Obedience too,
Could it really be,
He called me, maybe?

Before you came into my life
I messed up so bad
I messed up so bad
I messed up so, so bad

Before you came into my life
I messed up so bad
And you forgave all
I messed up so, so bad

It's hard to think straight,
It’s all so hazy,
Could it really be,
He called me, maybe?

Did I just hear that?
No, this is crazy!
Could it really be,
He called me, maybe?

Poverty and chastity,
Obedience too,
Could it really be,
He called me, maybe?

Before you came into my life
I messed up so bad
I messed up so bad
I messed up so, so bad

Before you came into my life
I messed up so bad
And you forgave all
He called me, maybe?

Yeah, I was really that bored. I listened to the song like a million times to try get it to flow properly (it doesn't in a few places). It's not great, but I thought y'all might get a giggle out of it.

I can't sing! Otherwise I so would. I need some musically talented person to do it for me.

No it is totally fine. It is pretty amazing. Yeah I think we need to have some nuns do the music video!

I've never heard the song before, but I'm a tenor one, so I may be able to pull it off. It may look weird since it is a guy singing it, though.

:lol:

Emily.... only thing is Benedictines take those different vows.

May be hard (but could be interesting!) to work out the rhymes with 'Stability' and 'Conversion of Manners' -- want the rest of the verses!

THEN we will find the community/communities to sing them!!!!!

I used poverty, chastity and obedience because they're more common.

Benedictine edition:

Great version, I think poverty, chastity and obedience fit better. I really want to hear you sing it EmilyAnn. You should show it to Mother Mistress when you go back

I love this :) As soon as I get a decent camera that actually has sound can I record it?

Go for it!

I tried recording it myself earlier, but some of the lyrics don't quite flow right. I need to work on it and figure out how to sound it right.
