Set: a Wasilla, Alaska, church.
Sarah is part of the chorus until she is singled out as The New Esther.
The chorus can be as few as 3, or 12, or include the entire audience with sing-along participation. They are Sunday School kids
being taught by the PREACHER in the first section, then become
Sarah's enthusiastic supporters.
PREACHER (spoken)
Boys and girls, you wanna hear the story of Queen Esther?
KIDS (SING)
Yes, sir! Yes, sir!
PREACHER (spoken)
The only good Queen and prett'neer the only good woman in the En-tire Bible!
PREACHER (SINGS, up tempo folk like "Ol Dan Tucker")
You've heard of Eve, who brought us sin
It's all her fault, the fix we're in.
And Jezebel, as you've heard tell
Worked with the Devil to be Queen of Hell
ALL (SING, toe-tapping hand-clapping revival style)
But God sent Esther,
That gracious gorgeous Esther
To lead His people in His righteous ways
To save His people in the day of days.
PREACHER (SINGS up-tempo-folk)
Now Queen Vashti was famous for her beauty
One night when Xerxes was feeling no pain
He said: Boys, my wife will do her duty
And show her naked body for my glorious reign!
ALL (SING)
But She said no!
The Queen said No!
GIRL (S) (SING(S))
I ain't no 'ho. Or circus show.
And When you sober up you'll be so glad I didn't go!
PREACHER (spoken)
And the King WAS glad the next morning, that his drunken foolishness had come to nothing. But then his councilors said to him:
(SINGS)
If your wife just won't obey you
All of us will rue the day you
Let her get the upper hand!
You've sown discord in the land.
PREACHER (spoken)
So the king put Vashti away, and gave orders that his kingdom be searched for all the most beautiful virgins, until one was found better than Vashti to be made Queen.
PREACHER (SINGS, Circus barker attitude, hoedown style)
Y'all come down to the contest
For queen of the Persian land
The beautiful gal that comes out best
Wins Xerxes' crown and hand.
ALL (SING)
So God sent Esther,
That gracious gorgeous Esther
To lead His people in His righteous ways
To save His people in the day of days.
PREACHER (spoken, leering )
Something to think about, little girl. Those bright eyes, that charmin' smile? Might be the sign of the Lord's anointed, to be hidden away here until the time of trial.
(SINGS, blues-y like "House of the Rising Sun")
When enemies are threat-nun,
Our people led astray
Children, don't you fret none
Esther will save the Day!
ALL (spoken, arms upraised)
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
ALL (SING, with choreography, going from self-assertion to conceding to SARAH)
Yes, hallelujah! Let it be me!
So what's it to ya? We'll all be free.
Free to be What God and the Bible says
Glorified To rise at the End of Days!
(Transition: SARAH emerges from her kid cocoon as the
fabulous Beauty Queen and leader to be. The Chorus
and Preacher recognize her mission with ecstasy.)
So send this Sarah
This gracious gorgeous Sarah
To lead His people in His righteous ways
To save His people in the day of days!
PREACHER (spoken)
Time passed and our Sarah grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and Man.
(SARAH flirts and winks)
Then the day came when a man of African ancestry, one Barack Hussein Obama,
(expressions of shock and dismay)
appeared out of nowhere-- from zero-- to be the nominee of the so-called Democratic Party! And a Democrat Pastor gave a benediction inviting infidels and Mormons to join in, in the names of their false gods!?! Our God was not pleased! Will this blessed land sink into an Obama-nation?
ALL (spoken ad lib) No! Never!
ALL SING "A Mighty Fortress"
And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us.
PREACHER (spoken) The very next day, Sister Sarah also emerged from obscurity--a born-again, Spirit-filled, Prayer Warrior from Wasilla! (applause, cheers, SARAH puts on glasses & jacket)
ALL , (spoken, cheerleading) Yay, Sarah! Go Sarah Go!
PREACHER Sarah, are you ready to lead?
SARAH You betcha!
PREACHER (spoken) Behold the Standard God has raised up! Behold our Esther! God only knows how this noble woman may be used by Him! Evil can fool some of the people some of the time, but in Real America the remnant will be gathering, even as the deserts parch and the waters rise. Alaska will be a refuge and a fortress until the Enemy is vanquished and Dominion established over all the earth!
SARAH (SINGS, gospel style)
I can see it.
I will be it
Called forth from obscurity.
To lead the folks so they'll be free.
They'll all love me!
ALL (SING and strike pose)
O yes, we do! We all love you!
SARAH (sing-spoken as rap)
I've had the layin on of hands.
Got witch protection from them foreign lands
SARAH AND PREACHER (SING and dance)
So take your station Sing with elation
Praise and work , so our numbers rise!
We'll take this country right up to the skies!
PREACHER (spoken)
One day soon Our Sarah will lead the Free World's armies to join with our Prayer Warriors in purging every Demonic Democratic stronghold! Cast out all the evil spirits! Banish witches and Babylonian harlots -- and you know who I mean!
ALL (SING, nayh, nyah nasty blues tone like kids on the playground)
Weeping and a wailing Is what they're gonna do
When the roll is called up yonder They won't be with me and you.
ALL (SING and dance, a big finale to "Ta Ra-Ra Boom Dy Ay" can-can)
Come Tribulation This sinful nation
Will be in for a big surprise.
SARAH (sings, doing cheerleader routine)
Yes, Armageddon, That's where we're headin'
O Rapture, o glory, o joy!
When the bombs fly We'll be up on high
Waving bye. You and I!
So take your station Sing with elation
Praise and work, so our numbers rise!
Join me in flying right up to the skies!
ALL SING (join in kick line)
Yes, Armageddon, That's where we're headin'
O Rapture, o glory, o joy! O Rapture, o glory, o joy! O Rapture, o glory, o joy!
ALL (stagger and collapse in confident satisfaction)
(SPOKEN ad lib)
Amen! (applause) Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
THE END
