1. The Witness - The Easter Musical (Barry McGuire)

The story of Jesus is told and sung for you by Peter - "the witness' - and the other men and women who know Him best. It's the world's most extraordinary true story, told by the ordinary people whose lives were transformed by their encounter with a carpenter who was much more than He seemed. Barry McGuire is Peter, the fishman who became an apostle; Anne Herring sings the funny, touch song of Peter's wife; Jamie Owens-Collins is Mary, the mother of Jesus, who shares the secret of finding favour with God; Steve and Tim Archer are the "Sons of Thunder," James and John; and Carol Owens is their mother who watches out for her boys; Matthew Ward is the tormented Judas. Nell Ward-Friesen, Joni Speaks, Dan Collins and Buddy Owens also lend their considerable singing talents to the story. Listen and enjoy.

THE WITNESS
by Jimmy & Carol Owens

Peter and Choir:

Listen to me!
This is for you!
I've come to tell you a story that's true;
A story 'bout a special Man that I knew.
The Son of God has come!
The Son of God has come and I'm a witness!
I'm a witness!
The Son of God has come!
The Son of God has come and I'm a witness!

I was a witness when God came to men
And lived here as Jesus, my Carpenter friend.
I'll tell you the story, beginning to end,
The Son of God has come!
The Son of God has come and I'm a witness!
I'm a witness!
The Son of God has come!
The Son of God has come and I'm a witness!

Listen to me!
This is for you!
I've come to tell you a story that's true;
And what I have witnessed I'm tellin' to you!
The Son of God has come!
The Son of God has come and I'm a witness!

Listen to me!
God came to men
And lived here as Jesus, my Carpenter friend.
I'll tell you the story, beginning to end,
The Son of God has come!
The Son of God has come...and I'm a witness!
