Original Cast of His Story the Musical
The Easy Way
[SATAN]
Hey old friend, I'm pretty sure You know me
I'm the one Your people chose over You
Please show me if You’re really God’s Son
Like the Father said
See this stone?
Go ahead, turn it into bread!
[JESUS]
Man shall not live on bread alone
But on every Word of God
So that stone is staying a stone
Why are you here Satan?
What do you want?
[SATAN]
Well I wanted to make You an offer
Do you remember when they fell away?
[JESUS]
Yes
[SATAN]
Well I remember You made them a promise
But I give You the easy way
[SATAN]
You can have ‘em back
Do with ‘em what You please
I'll unlock the cell, open the door
Even give You the keys
Look at your Father
Who I know You wanna please
Well I can give You want
If you get on Your knees
Worship me, worship me, worship me
Worship me, worship me
It’s about You, Your choice, Your life
So what Ya’ gonna do now
How You gonna spend it
Are You gonna move now?
No need for pretending
I can make You squirm
‘Til You don't know what to say
So take my advice
And take the easy way
The easy way
[JESUS]
You need to go now!
[SATAN]
Jesus, wait, can You just hear me out?
[JESUS]
Why are you still here?
How haven't you learned I'm your God
And only Him shall you serve?
[SATAN]
Ok, ok, I was just laying options
Just passing by and thought that I'd stop in
There's something I wanted to ask You so badly
You really care or just obeying daddy?
[JESUS]
What?! Of course I do!
If I didn't I wouldn't be here
But really, I don't have to talk to you
Do I make myself clear?
[SATAN]
Ok man, ok man
For sure, for sure
I'll be on my way man but first
Are You for sure?
[SATAN]
Is this what You wanna do?
[JESUS]
Yes
[SATAN]
Are you pretending?
[JESUS]
No
[SATAN]
Do You wanna move now?
[JESUS]
Stop it
[SATAN]
You know that I can end this
I can make you squirm
Til’ You’re begging me for grace
So take my advice
[JESUS]
I won't take the easy way
[SATAN]
So take the easy way
[JESUS]
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
There is no easy way
[SATAN]
Just wait
Just wait
[SATAN & JESUS]
Just wait
[JESUS]
You'll see, now I gotta go
There's a place that I gotta be
