1. Dropkick me, Jesus, through the goal post of life.
How about, "Go, Congregation, Go!"

True story: I used to do a lot of church gigs as a freelance singer in NYC. One of my regular haunts was the Swedenborgen church just off Park Ave on E 35th or 36th (this was the church that Helen Keller attended). Anyway, it was the typical NYC church gig - a hired quartet that showed up an hour before the service, sight read and prepared an anthem and basically winged all the hymns sans rehearsal.

One Sunday, we were singing the final hymn from their very, VERY old hymnals when we came upon what has become my all-time favorite line from a hymn:

"Let fall upon us your golden showers."

We immediately lost it and jumped the shark for the final verse!!
