These lists pop up from time to time, and Fr Mike at Intentional Disciples posted one today. As funny as these are, I think contemporary songs provide more interesting fodder, so I sent him these additional ones:
tour guides (Lead Me Guide Me)
firefighters (Ashes)
astronomers (Creator of the Stars of Night or Day is Done)
equestrians (A Stable Lamp Is Lighted)
choreographers (I Danced In The Morning)
bakers (One Bread One Body)
burglars (Steal Away)
swimming instructors (Come to the Water)
carpenters (Behold The Wood)
pilots (Come Away To the Skies)
strip-miners (Though The Mountains May Fall)
librarians (Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence)
riverboat gamblers (Let Justice Roll Like A River)
florists (Lo How A Rose)
cardiologists (Lift Up Your Hearts)
salespeople (Lord You Give The Great Commission)
overtime employees (Now We Remain)
pollsters (We Have Been Told)
sommeliers (Send Us Your Spirit)
pediatric nurses (What Child Is This)
And here’s a few more:
travel agents (Wherever You Go)
radio announcers (You Are The Voice)
trail guides (We Walk By Faith)
Any favorites from the commentariat?
