Lyrics:
Jesus:
Will no one stay awake with me?
Peter?
John?
James?
Will none of you wait with me?
Peter?
John?
James?
I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup away from me
For I don't want to taste its poison
Feel it burn me,
I have changed I'm not as sure
As when we started
Then I was inspired
Now I'm sad and tired
Listen surely I've exceeded
Expectations
Tried for three years
Seems like thirty
Could you ask as much
From any other man?
But if I die
See the saga through
And do the things you ask of me
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me
Nail me to their tree
I'd want to know
I'd want to know my God
I'd want to know
I'd want to know my God
I'd want to see
I'd want to see my God
I'd want to see
I'd want to see my God
Why I should die
Would I be more noticed
Than I ever was before?
Would the things I've said and done
Matter any more?
I'd have to know
I'd have to know my Lord
I'd have to know
I'd have to know my Lord
I'd have to see
I'd have to see my Lord
I'd have to see
I'd have to see my Lord
If I die what will be my reward?
If I die what will be my reward?
I'd have to know
I'd have to know my Lord
I'd have to know
I'd have to know my Lord
Why, why should I die?
Oh, why should I die?
Can you show me now
That I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little
Of your omnipresent brain
Show me there's a reason
For your wanting me to die
You're far too keen on where and how
But not so hot on why
Alright I'll die!
Just watch me die!
See how, see how I die!
Oh, just watch me die!
Then I was inspired
Now I'm sad and tired
After all I've tried for three years
Seems like ninety
Why then am I scared
To finish what I started
What you started
I didn't start it
God thy will is hard
But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison
Nail me to your cross and break me
Bleed me, beat me
Kill me, take me now
Before I change my mind

December 1st, 2008 at 13:23:26 i suggest you search the live spanish version of "Camilo Sesto"... your mind will be blown away
December 1st, 2008 at 13:46:25 that scream gosh *-*
December 1st, 2008 at 14:09:24 I agree it makes him look pensive.
December 1st, 2008 at 14:32:23 He sounds better 37 years later, and is certainly a better actor now.
December 1st, 2008 at 14:55:22 I think this is such a beautiful poignant song and loved the whole movie...have seen it many times and I am always touched by the great music....
December 1st, 2008 at 15:18:21 I love this musical...I search it out all of the time...I have the orginal soundtrack for the movie and the play....
December 1st, 2008 at 15:41:20 sry u said this is a bad movie?with bad music?maybe i misunderstood.......
December 1st, 2008 at 16:04:19 Bad music or movies just disappears or become "cult art"...like in this case. Webber is an Alchemist.
December 1st, 2008 at 16:27:18 i love this song
December 1st, 2008 at 16:50:17 I Just love it i think he is wonderful.
December 1st, 2008 at 17:13:16 I agree with miamahoney: The Czech version is the best.
December 1st, 2008 at 17:36:15 3:05 is mind shatteringly awesome
December 1st, 2008 at 17:59:14 yes yes, this wandering eyed jesus played by ted is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better XD
December 1st, 2008 at 18:22:13 Thats what you get for using Dutch Wikipedia
December 1st, 2008 at 18:45:12 Stupid brainwashed little christian.
December 1st, 2008 at 19:08:11 Sorry, but in Czech this song is more impressive.
December 1st, 2008 at 19:31:10 most wonderful expression of love our Lord has given to us.That was awesome Watch this anyone
December 1st, 2008 at 19:54:09 Like ways :).
December 1st, 2008 at 20:17:08 I agree with GeonusKaikun, to and extent, but I think to a certain point, God did turn away from Jesus when He was being crucified, imagine having to watch your only child being murdered by the people He was sent to save. It'd be the most difficult thing to watch.
December 1st, 2008 at 20:40:07 I love the last scene =) when Jesus is watching the sunrise
December 1st, 2008 at 21:03:06 Neeley is just a superb singer.
December 1st, 2008 at 21:26:05 Yes, RicBNH you're correct! The film, and it's sound track, is from 73 and performed by Neeley as an actor and singer. Gillan only has recorded the 1970 concept album.
December 1st, 2008 at 21:49:04 That was because He had taken our nature (i.e humanity) upon Himself, and it was Man who had been cut off from God because of the fall, feeling as if Man had been forsaken. Christ was speaking on behalf of all of humanity in His human nature, which was about to be reconciled with God through His death and Resurrection. In His divinity He is one with the Father, so therefore it is impossible to be cut off from Him or to feel forsaken. They are of one essence, one Godhead. Christ has two natures.
December 1st, 2008 at 22:12:03 This is the best version I've heard <3 I've listened to two more english versions, and seen the Musical be performed in Swedish, and this version is the best <3
December 1st, 2008 at 22:35:02 That's incorrect. Neeley sings. You can hear a distinct difference in the vocal performances of both Neeley and Gillan, both have their merits.
