Original Cast of His Story the Musical
I Never Knew You
[JESUS; Peter ]
So disciples gather ‘round ( Andrew! )
I wanna explain about His mission ( Andrew! )
The whole purpose of Me being here ( Andrew! )

[JESUS; Peter ]
Peter! Listen! ( What?! )

I don't want you to be deceived
So the Truth wants you to know
Beautiful whitewashed tombs
Are often filled with dead men's bones

[PETER]
Woah!

[JESUS]
Yeah, guys this is important
So pay attention to My way
I came not to praise the righteous
But to teach sinners
A thing or two about grace

So retrace My steps if you’re seeking life
I came not to make bad men good
But instead dead men alive
[BIG PHARISEE]
So You know it all
“The Way?” I wouldn't bother

[BOTH PHARISEES]
You don't know a thing
You don't know the Law

[JESUS]
Well you don't know My Father

[JESUS]
One day when paradise arrives
Will He look you in the eyes
Recognize you and invite you in or say

[JESUS]
I never knew you
I wish you woulda looked My way
But instead I never heard you say
You need Me, you need Me

But I never knew you
I wish you woulda sought me out
But you’re too busy looking down on them
To see Me
You don't see Me now
[JESUS]
Do you wanna know the way?

[PHARISEE]
No way!

[JESUS]
Do you wanna know the way?

[PHARISEE]
No way!

[JESUS]
Do you wanna know the way?

[PHARISEE]
No way!
No way, get away from me!

[BIG PHARISEE]
Who does He think He is?
Puffin’ Himself up like a peacock

[LITTLE PHARISEE]
Right!
“The kingdom of heaven’s like a mustard seed”
[BIG PHARISEE]
Idiot! Would You please stop?

[LITTLE PHARISEE]
I know the Law like the back of my hand
And it's obvious You don't
Healing sinners on the Sabbath, really?

[BIG PHARISEE]
This Jesus gotta go!

[BIG PHARISEE]
I got a question that’ll trip Him up

[LITTLE PHARISEE]
Trip Him up!

[BIG PHARISEE]
It's one side or the other
And the

[BOTH PHARISEES]
Other will blow up

[BIG PHARISEE]
Should we pay taxes to Caesar or should we not?

[JESUS]
Whose name and inscription is on the the coin?

[LITTLE PHARISEE]
Caesar's

[JESUS]
Then that's all I’ve got

Give to Caesar what is Caesar's
Give to God what is God’s
Do you wanna know the way?

[BOTH PHARISEES]
Ha! I'd rather not

[JESUS]
One day when paradise arrives
Will He look you in the eyes
Recognize you and invite you in or say

[CHOIR]
I never knew you

[JESUS]
I wish you woulda looked My way
But instead I never heard you say
You need Me, you need Me

[CHOIR]
But I never knew you

[JESUS]
I wish you woulda sought Me out
But you’re too busy looking down on them
To see Me, you don't see Me now
