Jesus Christ: The Musical

[Verse 1] How does a humble, son of a carpenter And a virgin, born in the middle of a forgotten spot in Bethlehem By providence, impoverished, in humility, grow up to be a savior and a teacher? The 30-year-old Messiah without a sin Got a lot farther by being a lot kinder, by being a lot wiser By being a self-sacrificer, by 30 they placed him in charge of a spiritual charter [Chorus] And everyday while sinners were being lost and led astray Across the lands, he struggled and kept his faith up Inside he was longing for everyone to be a part of The brother was ready to heal, save, guide or pardon [Verse 2] Then a storm came, and temptation reigned Our man saw his future cup, filling up with pain Put a prayer to his lips, connected it to his faith And he spoke his first sermon, a testament to his grace [Chorus] Well the word got around, they said “This man is divine, man!” Took up a collection just to feed the multitudes on the grassland “Get your salvation, don’t forget from whence you came And the world’s gonna know your name. What’s your name, man?” [Bridge] Jesus Christ My name is Jesus Christ And there’s a million thing I haven’t done But just you wait, just you wait Verse 3] When he was 12, his parents lost him, full of wit, wisdom ridden 3 days later, see Mary and Joseph awe-stricken Amazed, sitting in their own wonder, the sense thick And Jesus got wiser but his youth went quick [Chorus] Moved in with society, the society committed sin Left him with nothing but pure love, something new within A voice saying, “Jesus you gotta save them from hell” He started preaching and reading every scripture on the shelf [Outro] There woulda been nothing left to do for someone less astute He woulda been just a carpenter without a hint of absolution Started working, healing for his late Father’s children Trading fish and bread and all the things he can afford [Chorus] Scanning for every soul he can get his hands on Planning for the future, see him now as he stands on The mount of a hill preaching for a new land In Heaven you can be a new man (In Heaven you can be a new man) Just you wait (In Heaven you can be a new man) Just you wait In Heaven you can be a new man In Heaven (Heaven) Just you wait! In Heaven you can be a new man (In Heaven you can be a new man) Just you wait (In Heaven you can be a new man) Just you wait In Heaven you can be a new man In Heaven (Heaven) Just you wait! [Chorus] Jesus Christ (Jesus Christ), we’re waiting in the wings for you (waiting in the wings for you) You could never back down Oh, Jesus Christ (Jesus Christ), when the world sings for you Will they know what you overcame? Will they know you rewrote the game? The world will never be same, oh The cross is on the hill now, see if you can spot him Another savior coming up from the bottom His enemies destroyed his life, Peter forgot him We fought for him Me, I died for him Me, I trusted him Me, I loved him And me, I’m the one who denied him [Outro] There’s a million things I haven’t done But just you wait What’s your name man? Jesus Christ! The cross is on the hill now, see if you can spot him Another savior coming up from the bottom His enemies destroyed his life, Peter forgot him We fought for him Me, I died for him Me, I trusted him Me, I loved him And me, I’m the one who denied him [Outro] There’s a million things I haven’t done But just you wait What’s your name man? Jesus Christ!
