Jesus Lyrics

[MARCY, spoken]
Camouflage.
Dear Jesus, can't you come up with a harder worth than that?

[JESUS, spoken]
Of course I can, my child.

[ALL]
Aaaahhhhhh!

[JESUS appears, played by actor playing Chip.
MARCY is absolutely astounded to see him - none of her parochial education has prepared her for this.

[MARCY, spoken]
Jesus?

[JESUS, spoken]
Marcy?

[MARCY, spoken]
Hi!

[JESUS, spoken]
Hi.

[MARCY, spoken]
How are you?

[JESUS, spoken]
I'm good. Is that your prayer, Marcy, for a more difficult word?

[MARCY, spoken]
Well yeah, it was but now that you're here can I ask for something better?

[JESUS, spoken]
I'm here for you now Marcy. C'est pour toi que je suis ici.

[MARCY, spoken]
Jesus... I was wondering what would happen if I didn't win today.

[JESUS, spoken]
What do you think would happen?

[MARCY, spoken]
I don't know, but what I mean is, would you be disappointed with me if I lost?

[JESUS, spoken]
Of course not-but Marcy? I also won't be disappointed with you if you win

[MARCY, spoken]
You're saying it's up to me then?

[JESUS, spoken]
Yes, and also, this isn't the kind of thing I care very much about

[MARCY, spoken]
Camouflage. C-A-M....O-U.....F-L...A....J..Z!! H!!!
Camaflajzh!

[The bell rings.]

[MARCY, spoken]
I blew that word
I blew that word
Praise Jesus!
Life has such possibility
Here's where I begin
The best speller won't necessarily win!
I won't win! I won't win!
I won't win!

[GIRLS]
She blew that word!
Praise Jesus!

She won't win

Goodbye!
