Muppet Purim Parody

The Book of Esther does not contain the name of God. Quite unusual for a biblical book. Some say God is "hidden" in the coincidences (miracles?) of the story. Or maybe, there's just a....

THE GODLY CONNECTION
(Sung to “The Rainbow Connection”


Why are there so many
Ways to say God’s name
But none in this Purim guide?
Is God a vision
or only illusion?
and does God have something to hide?
So we've been told
and some choose to believe it
But I know they're wrong
wait and see.

Someday we'll find it
The Godly Connection
The scholars, the mystics and me

Who said that every prayer
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning Shema
Somebody thought of that
and someone believed it
and look what it's done so far.
What's so inspiring
that keeps us inquiring
And what do we think we should be?

Someday we'll find it
That Godly Connection
The scholars, the mystics and me

All of us under its spell
I know that it’s probably magic…

Have you seen a burning bush
and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound
That called to young Moses?
The Voice might be One and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It’s saying that we’re all ho-ly.

Someday we'll find it
The Godly Connection
The scholars, the mystics and me

Yai de-di dai de-di dai
Ya dai de-di dai dai dai dai…
