Michael Herry’s song “Designer Label” has a subtitle, “with apologies to Country Road” an Australian clothing store.
It is from his collection Dare to Dream, and is designed as a Recessional. The sheet music is free from the Marists.
You can listen to their version at their site but I don’t think the Marist Singers are the best for a country flavoured song. The second and third verse share a different tune to the first verse.
Refrain
You are God’s chosen race, his saints, he loves you,
So be clothed in compassion, gentleness and truth,
Be kind and humble of heart.
1 Bear with one another, forgive each other when a quarrel starts.
Over all these gifts put on love.
2 May the peace of Christ reign in your hearts,
Because for this you were called.
Called together as parts of on body.
3 Let the message of Christ in all its richness find a home in you.
Teach and advise each other,
And with thanks in your hearts sing him praise.

Since the title is meant to be a joke, here’s another one. His song reminded me a little of Steve Martin’s song his grandmother sang to him.
