Georgia Priest 'Kicks COVID Back To Hell' & Goes Viral With His 'Hamilton' Parody (VIDEO)

Bringing his congregation together, viral-ly.

While some churches in Georgia aren't congregating quite yet because of COVID-19, Rev. Lonnie Lacy of St. Anne's Episcopal Church in Tifton, Georgia has found another way to bring his churchgoers together.

In a parody to the tune of "You'll Be Back" from the musical Hamilton, Reverend Lacy takes a lively approach to get his church-service-missing congregation pumped up to come back together again in the near future.

You can see The Rev. dancing around his empty church, remixing the original lyrics of the song in a way that might just get a little laugh out of you.

“You’ll be back, time will tell when we kick this virus back to hell. You’ll be back, with your friends, and you’ll belt out all your favorite hymns. You’ll say your prayers and pass the peace, even with the ones you like the least,” Lacy sings video. 

As of publication, the Youtube video now has almost half a million views at 494,281. It was posted just three days ago on July 25.
