Musical Numbers

Beatitudes
We’re Gonna Have a Good Time
There’s a Stranger in Town
Do You Know Jesus?/He’s a Wonder
Just a Little Bit of Jesus Goes a Long Way
We Are the Priests and Elders
Something is Wrong in Jerusalem
It Was Alone
I Ain’t Had My Fill
Be Careful Whom You Kiss
I Know I Have to Leave Here
It’s Too Late
Judas Dance
Your Arms Too Short to Box with God
Give Us Barabbas
See How They Done My Lord
Come on Down
That’s What the Bible Say
Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?
Can’t No Grave Hold My Body Down
Beatitudes (Reprise)

Didn’t I Tell You
When the Power Comes
As Long As I Live
Everybody Has His Own Way
I Love You So Much Jesus
I Left My Sins Behind Me
On That Day
The Band
