THE LUTHERAN SONG by "Lost and Found"

In honor of chief justice William Rehnquist I would like to let you know about the many Lutherans that have impacted our world throughout the centuries. Here is a song by the group "Lost and Found" who first sang this at the ELCA national youth gathering. I am a Lutheran Church Missouri Synod member and am currently a vicar (pastoral intern) in Faith Lutheran, BAY CITY, MI, but I still like this song a lot because it has made me proud to say that I am a Lutheran!!! Enjoy... If you want me to e-mail you the song so you can here it I can do that to--just ask me in the comment part of this section of my blog and leave your e-mail address and I will be more than happy to send it to you.


Lyle Lovett, John Mellencamp, Ace Frehley of KISS, St. Olaf, Henry Muhlenberg and Gustavus Adolphus, '89 and 1992's Miss America, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court--William Rehnquist, we swear-ica.

Bruce Willis, Lonnie Anderson, David Hasselhoff, William Hurt and William H. Macey, Kris Kristofferson are Lutherans. And on the late night TV screen, Andy Richter could tell somebody "what does this mean?"

Steve Jobs of the Apple computer, Gary Larson of the Far Side cartoon, and Three different astronauts who flew shuttles toward the moon, Dave Winfield and NASCAR's Dales, Earnhardt and Jarrett, each had an acolyte gown and were happy to wear it.

Tim Johnson, Fritz Hollings, Paul Simon and Ed Meece, all have been known to sing a little "this is the feast." You know who likes his potluck dinner? Who? Troy Aikman the Super Bowl winner, Governors of Indiana, Minnesota, Wyoming, Kansas, Idaho, Montana and Tennessee, And Pachelbel, you know, with a Canon in D.

And Woody from Cheers and Cindy McTee--these all sing a little Lutheran liturgy. Elke Sommer, Martin Marty and Lucas Cranach, The Old Albert Schwietzer, Soren Kierkegaard and Dag Hammerskold.

Sally Struthers, Anne Margaret, and J.A.O. Preuss, Mary Hart, Garrison Keiller--Lake Wobegon's voice. Liv Ullman, Tom Landry, Professor Pelikan whose name is Jaroslav. Pauls -- Gerhardt, Manz and Meir and Stormin' Norman Schwartzkopf.

Robert Cade, the Gatorade maker, Johannes Keppler and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Martin Luther wasn't born a Lutheran and that might be a shock, but Mark Hansen was and April Larson and Johann Sebastian Bach.

There are foods that Lutherans adopt, for example, the pretzel, Dana Carvey is a Lutheran, now "isn't that special?" (Music interlude) Yes, these all are Lutherans but still only just a few, cause the most notable Lutherans of all are every single one of you!!!
