(Sound of orchestra tuning up.
Stirring musical introduction,
here comes the baritone:)
PAT-ripassion
the belief that makes you go insane,
where modalism's sweet,
the explanation's neat,
but the Father's hanging there in pain!
PAT-ripassion
the belief that leads us to deny
The Holy Trinity,
And God's integrity.
What we thought were persons were a lie!
We know the simplicity's grand,
Still we reject it right out of hand.
And when we say
Or sing a kyrie,
We're only saying
God truly is in Three Persons,
Holy Trinity, Okay!
Did the Father die on the cross for your sins? Did the father take on human flesh?
The Father is not the Son
The Son is not the Father
The Holy Spirit is not the Son
The Son is not the Holy Spirit
