HEROD
Jesus, I am overjoyed to meet you face to face
You've been getting quite a name all around the place
Healing cripples, raising from the dead
And now I understand you're God
At least, that's what you've said
So, you are the Christ, you're the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're divine
change my water into wine
That's all you need do, then I'll know it's all true
Come on, King of the Jews
Jesus, you just won't believe the hit you've made around here
You are all we talk about, the wonder of the year
Oh, what a pity if it's all a lie
Still, I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you tried
So, you are the Christ, you're the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're no fool
walk across my swimming pool
If you do that for me, then I'll let you go free
Come on, King of the Jews
I only ask what I'd ask any superstar
What is it that you have got that puts you where you are?
I am waiting, yes I'm a captive fan
I'm dying to be shown that you are not just any man
So, if you are the Christ, yes the great Jesus Christ
Feed my household with this bread
You can do it on your head
Or has something gone wrong
Jesus, why do you take so long?
Oh come on, King of the Jews
Hey! Aren't you scared of me Christ?
Mr. Wonderful Christ?
You're a joke
You're not the Lord
You are nothing but a fraud
Take him away
He's got nothing to say!
Get out you King of the
Get out King of the
Oh, get out, you King of the Jews!
Get out of here!
Get out of here you
Get out of my life
