Lyrics:
Jesus, I am overjoyed to meet you face to face
You've been getting quite a name all around the place
Healing cripples, raising from the dead
Oh and now I understand you're God
Well, at least that's what you've said
So, you are the Christ, you're the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're divine, change my water into wine
That's all you need do, then I'll know it's all true
C'mon, king of the Jews!
Jesus, you just won't believe the hit you've made round here
You are all we talk about, the wonder of the year!
Oh, what a pity if it's all a lie
Still, I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try
So you are the Christ, you're the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're no fool, walk across my swimming pool
If you do that for me, then I'll let you go free
C'mon, king of the Jews!
I only ask the things I'll ask of any superstar
What is it that you have got that puts you where you are?
Oh, I am waiting, yes, I'm a captive fan
I'm dying to be shown that you are not just any man
So, you are the Christ, yes, the great Jesus Christ
Feed my household with this bread, you can do it on your head!
Or has something gone wrong? Why do you take so long?
C'mon, king of the Jews!
Hey! Aren't you scared of me Christ? Mr. Wonderful Christ!
You're a joke, you're not the Lord
You are nothing but a fraud!
Take him away, he's got nothing to say!
Get out, you king of the
Get out, you king of the
Get out you king of the Jews
Get out of here
Get out

@@carl_lindquist Many moons ago back in high school we did JCS and I performed as Herod though no where near as good as your performance ... Our director had me do it totally straight like the original concept album ... it was good (in my opinion) but needed a LITTLE something to make it a little more fun .. you nailed it :D ... EDIT: I have a video of Lars Humble's performance in Swedish but I can't get it translated and I can pick up a few words but I'd love to know what he's saying as the lyrics were changed by Ola Salo.
