I grew up listening to this entire musical (our family had the album) through the 80s. Have frequently wished since that I could purchase it on CD. Well, imagine my delight in finding the entire thing here on TH-cam. Because of that, I just introduced it to my own children--a perfect activity on this Good Friday! Thank you, Jimmy and Carol, for your wonderful transcription of Jesus' life and ministry, death and resurrection, into music. Food for the soul, and still as moving as it was 30 years ago!
great post, we have a choir and sung this album in the 80's am now 55. the meaning is the same in my life....touching lives touching hearts . praise God
Thank God for Jimmy and Carol Owen. I watched the live performance by my London Bible College pals in 1979. Today I bought from an op-shop a two-LP set published by Lexicon Music's Light Records in 1978. It's going to bless even my grandchildren.
I was Born Again at Bristol Colston Hall at a performance of The Witness. Thank you so much for an amazing musical. Even after all these years this track raises goosebumps!
I sang this 30 years ago with a huge choir and will never forget it. The words are so incredibly beautiful and the music wonderful. I still remembered all the words - what an Easter gift - thank you!
I was 16 when I was cast in this wonderful cantata at that little Baptist church in Raytown, MO, and there are many times the Spirit uses the music and words to bolster faith, courage, praise, conviction, and even rebuke. Thanks for inviting me to sing with you, Bobby C, wherever you are!
Thank you for sharing this Wonderful Musical! Our church performed this with drama, when the musical first came out, and several times after. I believe this is one of the greatest witnessing tools, because it shares the complete Gospel Message. Over the years, I have sung these songs in my heart, as I do not own any of the music. Thank you Father, for sending your Son Jesus! He is the Christ! He is the Son of the Living God!
I remember this play when I was in grade school and I am now 46. I absolutely loved it when our church did it. Still amazing to listen to after all of these years.
its INDEED a Powerful and Spiritually Uplifting.......AWESOME..!!! THANK yOU FOR BRINGING THIS MUSICAL ALBUM BACK AFTER ALL THESE YEARS......LOVE IT..! YesssSS.....YOU ARE THE CHRIST..THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.....YOUUUUU...ARE MYYYYY...LORD..!!!! THANK YOU..Jimmy andCarolOWENS...God Bless You....Love and Praises from Singapore...
First performed this on Easter Sunday, 1979 at Metropolitan Baptist Church, Wichita, Kansas. Now, as Easter dawns tomorrow, 37 years after first performing it, wow! The story doesn't change. It was Inspired by the Spirit, put to paper by human genius and performed with passion. Just doesn't get much better.
Wow...just found my long lost cassette of this and it didn't play very well...so great to hear the whole thing here. Wish I could find a CD or somewhere I could download the songs.
Praise God. This is such an uplifting & moving musical. Thank you so much for putting it onto You Tube for us all to enjoy. It was years since I heard it last, & having just listened to it today from beginning to end, I must say it has once again been a feast for my ears & a blessing to my heart. May God enrich you both.
Thank you for posting these. Can't remember how I first heard this album as it was in the 70s and I'm now in my 60s been looking for this album ever since. When I found these I was delighted. God Bless you for writing these.
