The Greatest Night Out (opening song perhaps, the devil introduces the hard life under the Romans)

Angry Young Man (Jesus overturning the tables in the Temple)

Take Him - Pilate and Jesus

All Called - an exchange between Jesus and girl at the well

Don't you want to be like me - could be the song Jesus sings in the boat when teaching

What The Future Holds - Jesus telling the disciples about the tough road ahead

Jesus arrives on stage to sing to the audience. His initial message is for Mary, but then the Entourage, and particularly Judas and Peter. Please see the lyrics below and thanks for listening.

Jesus

HEAR ME, IF YOU'RE WEARY, DO YOU WANT REST?
YOUR MIND, BODY, SOUL REFRESHED.
LET ME SPEAK, MAYBE, I GOT SOMETHING YOU SEEK (CAIAPHAS looks unhappy)
(to MARY caringly)
DO YOU LIVE, IN THE PAST WITH ALL YOUR BURDENS?
DO YOU, HURT YOURSELF 'COS YOU CAN'T FORGIVE THEM?
DO YOU, REFUSE TO FACE ALL OF YOUR PROBLEMS?
DO YOU, FIND IT HARD TO HEAR THE TRUTH?

NOT EVEN A SMILE
TO HIDE THE HURT INSIDE

I HEAR THE PAIN IN YOUR VOICE
But you, Mary, yes you do, DO HAVE A CHOICE

Instrumental piece

(whispered)

You're in my prayers, Mary Magdalene...............

(MARY looks sad but unmoved and hurries the SHOWGIRLS off stage. CAIAPHAS looks angry and makes sure the SHOWGIRLS walk away from JESUS, as JESUS now moves towards PETER).

(sung to PETER)

IF YOU'RE LOST? STUCK IN YOUR WAYS? OR GONE ASTRAY?
TEMPTATION MAKING YOU ITS NEXT PREY?
YOU'RE PERPLEXED, what to do next, QUESTIONS, DAY AFTER DAY,
THERE IS ONE, WHO FINDS THE LOST, AMONGST THE HELPLESS,
AND WHO, RANSOMS ALL FOR THEIR CURRENCY,
GOD  SWEEPS, THE LOWEST DEPTHS, FOR SOMETHING PRICELESS,
HE'LL BE, HAPPY WHEN YOU JOIN HIS FAMILY.

YEH, EH EH EH
BE HIS DAUGHTERS AND SONS

YEH, EH EH EH
But you, Peter, yes you, WILL YOU BE ONE?

(Instrumental piece where PETER and JUDAS chat)

(sung to PETER and now JUDAS and the rest of the ENTOURAGE)

Let me tell you, you'll get what's due
For leaving all to follow me
Without a doubt you will reap, a hundred times
In this life, and in eternity

(JUDAS becomes increasingly excited)

BUT YOU, MUST DECIDE, CAN'T SERVE TWO MASTERS,
BOTH WILL, EXPECT YOUR LOVE AND LOYALTY,
MY FRIEND, (looking at JUDAS) THINK OF WHERE YOU'VE PUT YOUR TREASURE,
BECAUSE, THAT IS WHERE YOUR HEART WILL BE! (JUDAS looks happy)

(JESUS kneels as people clap and he begins to pray)

Judas

YEH, EH, EH, EH, EH, EH, 
I KNOW HE IS THE ONE

YEH, EH, EH, EH, EH, EH, 
COME ON, EVERYONE...............!

Hear Me - Jesus saying stuff to people and wanting them to hear him

The Encore Song. This has the same tune/melody as A Time Will Come (the final song in ACT I). The words are below but they are not sung on the track - sorry. Thanks for listening.

Cast

THE TIME HAS COME TO GO OUR SEPERATE WAYS.
WE WISH THAT WE COULD STAY, BUT WE CAN'T DO IT, AND YOU KNEW IT,

WE HOPE THAT YOU ENJOYED OUR MUSICAL PLAY
SEE YOU AGAIN SOMEDAY, 
WE WON'T FORGET, THE FIRST TIME THAT WE MET

WE MUST GO

Audience

No!

Cast

CAIAPHAS HAS COMMANDED US
PLEASE TRY AND CHANGE HIS MIND, (CAIAPHAS shakes his head)
YOU'LL HAVE TO ACCEPT, THAT THERE'S TWO MINUTES LEFT

GO!

Audience

No!

Cast

DON'T BE SAD, THINK OF THE GOOD TIME WE HAD
WE REALLY HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN
BUT NOW WE'LL PRAY TO THE LORD, SAFE JOURNEY, AMEN






The Time Has Come - after show song which all the actors take a bow to

Jesus has just left with the rest of the Entourage. Mary and Peter are left and promise to try and be good witnesses for God, but knowing it won't be easy. The words below are a little bit different from those sung - sorry. But thanks for listening!

Peter

WILL I, BE, A GOOD WITNESS, A GOOD WITNESS, MY LORD (looking up)
HOPE I'LL, BE, A GOOD WITNESS, WHO LIVES TO SPREAD YOUR WORD
IN EVERYTHING I'M THINKING, EVERYTHING I'M SAYING, EVERYTHING I'M DOING, MY LORD
IN EVERYTHING I'M THINKING, EVERYTHING I'M SAYING, EVERYTHING I'M DOING, MY LORD

WILL I, LORD, ACCEPT THE COST INVOLVED, BE TOTALLY RESOLVED, TO PLEDGE MY ALL TO YOU?
WILL I, LORD, DO ALL THINGS IN YOUR NAME, AND PUBLICALLY PROCLAIM, YOU'RE GOD OF ALL THAT'S TRUE?

WILL I LORD, SHOW MY HOPE IN YOU, I HOPE THAT I SHOW YOU, I DO?
BUT KNOW, LORD, THAT I WILL SURELY FALL, BUT THAT I GIVE MY ALL, TO YOU                                      

(MARY goes over to comfort PETER)

Mary

WILL I, BE, A GOOD WITNESS, A GOOD WITNESS, MY LORD (looking up)
HOPE I'LL, BE, A GOOD WITNESS, WHO LIVES TO SPREAD YOUR WORD
IN EVERYTHING I'M THINKING, EVERYTHING I'M SAYING, EVERYTHING I'M DOING, MY LORD
IN EVERYTHING I'M THINKING, EVERYTHING I'M SAYING, EVERYTHING I'M DOING, MY LORD

WILL I, LORD, SEE YOUR FACE IN ALL, FORGIVE ALL THOSE WHO FALL, JUST LIKE YOU DO ME?
WILL I, LORD, KNOW THAT I NEED YOU, ACCEPT IN LIFE WHAT'S DUE, AND LIVE CONTENTEDLY 

DO I, KNOW, YOU'VE RISEN FROM THE GRAVE, AND THAT I'M TRULY SAVED, BY YOU?
BUT KNOW, LORD, THAT I WILL SURELY FALL, BUT THAT I GIVE MY ALL, TO YOU     


Peter and Mary

WILL WE, BE, A GOOD WITNESS, A GOOD WITNESS, MY LORD (looking at each other)
HOPE WE'LL, BE, A GOOD WITNESS, WHO LIVES TO SPREAD YOUR WORD
IN EVERYTHING WE'RE THINKING, EVERYTHING WE'RE SAYING, EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING, MY LORD
IN EVERYTHING WE'RE THINKING, EVERYTHING WE'RE SAYING, EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING, MY LORD
  
Peter 

(PETER mouths this but we cannot hear him say it)

Are you ready?
Mary

(MARY mouths this but we cannot hear her say it)

I'm ready.


Peter and Mary

GUNNA BE A GOOD WITNESS, BE A GOOD WITNESS
TRYING TO DO, WHAT YOU, SO WANT US TO DO 
BE A GOOD WITNESS, BE A GOOD WITNESS, YER 
TRYING TO DO, WHAT YOU, SO WANT US TO DO 

Peter

BE A GOOD WITNESS, 

Mary

TRYING TO DO, WHAT YOU, SO WANT US TO DO...........................(the MAGICIAN gets up at this point and looks menacingly at the audience, muttering, before exiting)
OH WE, WILL BE, A GOOD WITNESS, 
AND ALL THE WORLD WILL KNOW.............
