My dad was a high school teacher and the director of all of the plays and musicals. I was in many of his plays and it was the best time of my life singing these songs. At 56 yrs old I wish I could join a cast of this production just to sing these songs with others again. It was the best time of my life.
Yes! The theater group I belonged to did this musical just before I joined them. I was 15. This transfixed me! I had never heard anything like it. I must've played this hundreds and hundreds of times.
Agreed - While some would have said that G0Dspell and J3sus Chr1st Super Star had an agenda, I can assure you that in my case, J3sus used this to draw me to him. The overall effect was for the kingd0m, something of which is the reason that they don't allow this anymore. J3sus > one and only way!
Right there with you. I'm singing and crying even during the happier tunes. I was fourteen when the film came out, and it still has a heavy grip on my heart. SUCH a great cast!!!
my parents loved this musical so much that they named me Godspell.. and I just had the privilege to see the musical not so long ago n yes I fell n love with it as well....
If the message from this music doesn't inspire you to be a better person, full of hope and love for our future as brothers and sisters, then I pray someday you can feel the joy of God's spirit filling you with the love that awaits!
I did Godspell in my Senior Year in College- this was back in 1992, and I loved it! Before that, a dear friend of mine played Jesus in 2 productions of Godspell- he did really well in both and encouraged me to try doing it myself when the opportunity arose. Steve passed away in 2020 and I always think of him especially whenever I hear this song. May you Rest In Peace and Power Steve!😢❤
The cast complimented each others voices so well on this '73 movie. They could truly harmonize! great acting and choreography as well...It was fun watching Joanne and Merrell sing together
The populations of the world need this terribly. If only they would believe and love the creator more than politicians and jobs and sports and hedonistic pleasures. More than anything in this planet.
I just LUUUUUUUUUV these songs!!!!!!! I can't even decide the one I like the best. UM, I think it's DAY BY DAY. Or Maybe All Good Gifts! See? I can't decide!
Did this as a school play back in my freshman year of high school. Brings back so many memories! It will be 11 years this spring since my class performed this!
I grew up with the original Broadway cast recording, which I got as a Christmas gift in 1973. However, I think when I get another recording of Godspell, it will be this film soundtrack. After all, along with all other positives (slightly more sophisticated arrangements, maybe even a more confident-sounding cast), how can I deny The Chief?
(as sung) When wilt Thou save the people, Oh, God of mercy, when? The people, Lord, the people, Not thrones and crowns, but men! Flowers of Thy heart, Oh God, are they. Let them not pass, like weeds, away, Their heritage a sunless day. God, save the people! Shall crime bring crime forever, Strength aiding still the strong? Is it Thy will, Oh Father, That men shall toil for wrong? 'Oh, NO!' say Thy mountains, 'NO!' say Thy skies, Man's clouded sun shall brightly rise, And songs be heard, instead of sighs! God, save the people! 🎸🥁🎶🎹🎻 When wilt Thou save the people, Oh, God of mercy, when? The people, Lord, the people, Not thrones and crowns, but men!

I was in elementary school when this movie came out. I remember some teens playing the movie's songs on their guitars. I felt closer to God watching movies like Godspell and Jesus Christ Super Star than I ever did attending a church. These types of movies were more appealing to children because of the music and the modernized characters.
I can’t call myself fully religious, I don’t believe in God or anything supernatural or mythic. But I was in this musical as a kid and it means a lot to me and makes me wonder about it. I dig Jesus and his message. I guess i’m a half-christian.
In the eyes of this one, this song resonates deeply despite having a pagan soul. The melody, a balm that uplifts this one's heart, transcends the boundaries of time and religion. Love and peace, cherished sentiments indeed. This album holds a special place among this one's favorites.
I have to come listen to this song every day now. The worry weighs heavy on my heart for every child of god locked in a cage & dying of sepsis here in America. What happened to the generation of people that brought us music like this?
He played Jesus in the film version, (which happens to be released in '73) but I'm not sure if any stage versions with Gerber had been around in that year, in America at least. I saw something which said he'd been in a Canadian production in '72, though I can't say for sure. Very interesting thought, though. :)
When wilt thou save the people? Oh God of mercy, when? Not kings and lords, but nations, Not thrones and crowns, but men! Flow'rs of thy heart, o God, are they; Let them not pass, like weeds, away, Their heritage a sunless day. God save the people. Shall crime bring crime forever, Strength aiding still the strong? Is it thy will, o Father, That men shall toil for wrong? "No", say thy mountains; "No", say thy skies; Man's clouded sun shall brightly rise, And songs be heard instead of sighs. God save the people. When wilt thou save the people? Oh God of mercy when? The people, Lord, the people, Not thrones and crowns, but men! God save the people, for thine they are, Thy children as thy angels fair. God save the people from despair. God save the people. Oh God save the people! God save the people! Oh God save the people! God save the people. Oh God save the people! God save the people! Oh God save the people! When wilt thou save the people? O God of mercy when? The people, Lord, the people, Not thrones and crowns, but men! God save the people, save us, For thine they are, for thine they are. Thy children as thy angels fair: O, God save the people, Save the people, God save the people, From despair. God save the people
The Phantom of the Paradise ... I'm doing the revival for my schools musical. I guess it may be bigoted but I prefer the revival because it's more upbeat and has stronger vocals. In any case, what I'm getting at is you shouldn't just go around calling it crappy. I get it though. I really do. you're a hipster for musicals but some people adore the revival.
la versión original es la que deberían de emitir cuando tratan de reproducirla, es una mamada la de broadway comparada con la original......y eso que no soy crítico, pero si es una reverenda mamada la de broadway
Let me put it another way it was always me searching all religions the ones that applied to me in the was that I agreed with and do my belief but it seemed that always had to be mine had to be labeled as mine because it was my choice. There's always the Oddball duckling I would have been me.
The HOLY BIBLE says, "THOU SHALT NOT MURDER" The brainwashed U.S. soldiers should not have invaded Korea, Vietnam, Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq. Why do the U.S. soldiers keep defending their betrayers, the evil Devil worshipping Freemason politicians ? “Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.” Day by day, day by day, Oh dear LORD, three things I pray... To see You more clearly. Love You more dearly. Follow You more nearly, day by day... If people do not know I AM is in control, then they will be remote controlled. "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." ~ HOLY BIBLE, Proverbs 3:5

that is very Cool. that you got to be in the cast....I love to see high school productions and I LOVE to sing the songs too!
We did this in church when I was in high school in 1974. I am 60 now. Never gets old!
I love this song! You were lucky to have had the chance to do this!
Lake central?
Yes! The theater group I belonged to did this musical just before I joined them. I was 15. This transfixed me! I had never heard anything like it. I must've played this hundreds and hundreds of times.
Awesome
Me too!!!!
Even after all these years, I cannot sing this song without tearing up. The music is so powerful, so elemental. Stephen Schwartz captures something.
Same here!
Not to mention Victor Garber's brilliant rendition.
Agreed - While some would have said that G0Dspell and J3sus Chr1st Super Star had an agenda, I can assure you that in my case, J3sus used this to draw me to him. The overall effect was for the kingd0m, something of which is the reason that they don't allow this anymore. J3sus > one and only way!
Me too!
Right there with you.
I'm singing and crying even during the happier tunes.
I was fourteen when the film came out, and it still has a heavy grip on my heart.
SUCH a great cast!!!
Class of '76. True, never gets old.
Class of 75 here... God save the people!
my parents loved this musical so much that they named me Godspell.. and I just had the privilege to see the musical not so long ago n yes I fell n love with it as well....
How extraordinary
Lucky.
1970s Boston. Went to 25 shows, brought many friends. Lives changed for the best.
Bless the Lord
If the message from this music doesn't inspire you to be a better person, full of hope and love for our future as brothers and sisters, then I pray someday you can feel the joy of God's spirit filling you with the love that awaits!
@@UnapologeticallyChristian1960the point is we must cooperate with grace, and when we do, we're given the gifts, and bear fruit.
Always!❤❤❤✌🏻
@@UnapologeticallyChristian1960. Yup! 100%.! Thankfully, He is good!
Because we sure aren’t!😮
I've been a fan of Godspell since seeing on tv when i was teenager in the 70's
Blessed be, was lucky to see the concert, brilliant, 🙏🌈❤️
Dear Lord,
HEAR OUR PRAYERS

I seen this show 4 times and it doesn’t get old but only better !!!
The cast complimented each others voices so well on this '73 movie. They could truly harmonize! great acting and choreography as well...It was fun watching Joanne and Merrell sing together
My mom always played this musical when I was younger and I've only just realized that this was a religious musical.... I'm 17
+Charlotte Snare I like your comment....no particular reason...maybe because I'm a mom....
Godspell? The name?
I love the 70s feel of the songs. Great musical!
First class songwriting, great acting , these kids had a great influence on thier contemporarys.
This is the music that has brought me closer to God, although I’m not a religious person
Religion is manmade and will always falter....being a follower of Jesus Christ is what is truly important.
The populations of the world need this terribly. If only they would believe and love the creator more than politicians and jobs and sports and hedonistic pleasures. More than anything in this planet.
Shot taken on the WTC. I used to have this on vinyl and cassette tape.
Little known fact the cast are on the roof of one of the WTC towers on the album cover. The Tower had not been opened yet.
My childhood, I love God, I love Jesus my lord and saviour.
I just LUUUUUUUUUV these songs!!!!!!! I can't even decide the one I like the best. UM, I think it's DAY BY DAY. Or Maybe All Good Gifts! See? I can't decide!
All good gifts is my fav.makes me 😢 cry.
There is still time. Spread the word.
What a fantastic song… OH, GOD OF MERCY... SAVE THY PEOPLE…!
Seen the play-Movie numerous times 🙏 Love this 💫🎶❤️🙏
Takes me back to middle school. We did the junior version, but it was still one of my favorites that I've been in.
I wish I could have seen this play on stage. The emotions would be intense.
I saw the play in New York City so long ago and it was magnificent.
I saw Godspell on stage in Boston it was outstanding
Did this as a school play back in my freshman year of high school. Brings back so many memories! It will be 11 years this spring since my class performed this!
Heck this musical as well as Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat are basically my form of religious worship
What about Jesus Christ Superstar?
gotta' have the trilogy...
Mine was this and Jesus Christ Superstar
Mine was the Book of Mormon!!!
I grew up with the original Broadway cast recording, which I got as a Christmas gift in 1973. However, I think when I get another recording of Godspell, it will be this film soundtrack. After all, along with all other positives (slightly more sophisticated arrangements, maybe even a more confident-sounding cast), how can I deny The Chief?
I saw this when I was a young girl, not I'm getting older and I love it still! Know every word
(as sung)
When wilt Thou save the people,
Oh, God of mercy, when?
The people, Lord, the people,
Not thrones and crowns, but men!
Flowers of Thy heart, Oh God, are they.
Let them not pass, like weeds, away,
Their heritage a sunless day.
God, save the people!
Shall crime bring crime forever,
Strength aiding still the strong?
Is it Thy will, Oh Father,
That men shall toil for wrong?
'Oh, NO!' say Thy mountains,
'NO!' say Thy skies,
Man's clouded sun shall brightly rise,
And songs be heard, instead of sighs!

Great soundtrack, great movie!

My very favorite version of this story.
My favorite musical...
I'm an atheist but I love this musical soooooooooooooooo much
same
Violet Luna Ditto
I'm a follower of Jesus Christ and I love it too!
thank you for concentrating on the words and the message
This musical is in between Progressive Rock, Folk Rock and other Rock genre. Jesus will save us all (God will always save the people).
I was in elementary school when this movie came out. I remember some teens playing the movie's songs on their guitars. I felt closer to God watching movies like Godspell and Jesus Christ Super Star than I ever did attending a church.

I just purchased the soundtrack and can't wait to get it.
The whole soundtrack... My Goodness, YES!!
I can’t call myself fully religious, I don’t believe in God or anything supernatural or mythic. But I was in this musical as a kid and it means a lot to me and makes me wonder about it. I dig Jesus and his message. I guess i’m a half-christian.
Oh Jamie, Jesus is real and loves you so much.... he doesnt want anyone to be away from him... He is coming back soon.
we need this prayer today ! God save us from our own destructive way.
+Joseph Lukowski Too Late you are Toast !!! Thanks haven for that ,,
@ Richy One. Nope, you will be the one that will be toast....may He have mercy on you....
I have the movie on CD! (Thank You, Jesus!); & I Love It!
wait... you have the movie on CD, not DVD? lol :P (there's a big difference there, if you take CD very technically)
DVD... Yeah, that's what I meant to say; Thanks!

this song is cool.

Yes my son...Jesus is everywhere. . SHINE JESUS SHINE

Praise God Amen.!!!!!
I saw this on stage in SF in 1973 and I think Victor Gerber was playing Jesus, if memory serves.

I saw something which said he'd been in a Canadian production in '72, though I can't say for sure. Very interesting thought, though. :)
I'll bet my memory is correct.
Kim Serrahn If it was in Canada than your memory would be right because Victor Garber was in the original Canadian version of this.
Kim - Victor did it in Toronto, then The Film & NY - not SF
Kim Serrahn Did he attend Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA?
Not a god botherer, but I enjoy this a lot, for its joy, whimsy and sadness.
This version is a million times better then broadway version any of them original or new
amen
Save us soon!!!!!!!!!!!

You're right. I still don't like it, but you have every right to.
As an atheist, this seems silly to me. But as someone who loves music, I like it.
I think both the atheist and the believer can relate to the feeling of not being delivered from difficult situations sometimes.
i don’t believe in a god but i feel a pull to jesus

I sang it in school! 😃❤ Back in 1978.
