Still watching and crying in 2024....I was born in 1965, was only 8 years old when this movie came out...I can remember watching it over and over with my older sister...incredible film and music...❤
Me too. I was 16 years old in 1973. This was so compelling to my young searching spirit. I cried then. I cry now. So so gorgeous. As he bids each of the disciples good bye. Heartbreaking.
Same experience. Watched over and over because my brother worked in a movie theater (I was born 1964). Gave my life to the Lord and this movie played such a big part. I still ‘sing’ the scriptures when I come to a part quoted in Godspell.
I was actually in a production of God's pell in Bay Village, Ohio. In around two thousand three I was doing remodeling at the time.I played a construction worker.It was perfect. I sang all good gifts
It was so revolutionary at the time. My sister's high school class performed it in our little rural town and the audience just loved it so much. I loved the combination of soft, gentle Jesus, and modern clothing, dance, and song. It really brought the more pleasant aspects of Christianity to a new generation of people.
I remember seeing a live stage production of "Godspell" back in the late 80s/early 90s...and at least one or two of the cast members had tears on their faces during this scene (they chose not to use clown/face paint in this production). I have a friend who used to be an acting teacher (probably a bit more Method than Stanislavsky), and he says that a critical part of being a good actor is being able to resonate with what your character is feeling. If you can't, then the audience will pick up on it no matter what you do in an attempt to fake it and they won't consider you convincing.
I agree. This part was made for Victor Garber. He was perfect for the role of Jesus. He had such a beautiful and gentle way of portraying Jesus. Love him!
Godspell was the first Broadway musical my parents took me to as a child. My mom won tickets to Godspell plus backstage passes. I got to meet most of the cast that was in the movie backstage, when they played on Broadway. In fact, Victor Garber walked out into the audience as Jesus, and I got to sit on his lap. I was about 3 yrs old.
My middle school drama club went to a theater competition in Bucks County PA in (I believe it was) 1982 and a rival high school put on a production of Godspell. I had never experienced Jesus in this personal way before. I was raised a Catholic who really only went to church when visiting grandma. I fell in love with this musical, and with Jesus. As I grew, I fell away and followed the world, but gave my life to Jesus again, four years ago, and He has radically transformed my life. I look back on this play as the first time I knew who I belonged to. The movie is so well done and really captures how we come to Him as little children. 🙏 ❤
I'm thinking Jesus was deeply saddened at this moment, but He knew it wasn't forever, but it must have been hard for Him to leave His followers when He ascended into Heaven, knowing He wouldn't "see" His followers until their deaths. This scene helps me see how much He longs to greet me in Heaven.
I was twelve when I first watched this and this was the first musical I fell in love with and my first crush was on Victor Garber! I want to thank him and the cast for expanding this autistic woman’s world of music and musicals!
Oh my goodness, Victor Garner was my first crush and I'm also on the spectrum. Godspell taught me that Jesus loved me, regardless if anyone rejected me.
PSALM 137 1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion. 2We hanged our harps Upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; And they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 4How shall we sing The LORD's song in a strange land?
My heart is so full as I listen to this song . must say its a beautiful song ,one of the most beautiful songs i ever heard in all my entire life was so well written god bless the writers, musicians the cast, and everybody who put this musical together I am a follower of Christ and I just love that he makes my heart content all the way from Hollywood, CA god bless everyone.
I think, I'm inspired by the entire movie. My faith grew, during the pandemic. I never heard of Godspell, until I discovered it on UTube. I could feel the love, warmth of God
@@ghostly10562 Tell me about it! In the UK the start of the war coincided almost 100% with the "official" end of the pandemic, so no let-up. The Russians keep threatening the UK with nuclear bombs, or with a radioactive tsunami, which sounds mad, but somewhere deep down it affects us. Paradoxically, Her Majesty's death and funeral was a wonderfully moving, uniting, touching, joyful, grateful, forgiving occasion, and truly "majestic". And I am absolutely SURE the Holy Spirit "did a deal" with The Queen - a good Christian - making sure she could be used to serve and do good one more time. And she did. Phase 1 was at the Jubilee, when she recorded that teat-time scene with Paddington. This was how she (or the Holy Spirit) made sure that Her Majesty made an impression on even the youngest kids, and - as you know - Paddington was written by Michael Bond, who did not die when 41 other people in the same building were killed by a German raid, a man who was inspired by the sight of refugee kids in WW2, but only wrote the books when he saw a last, lonely bear on a store shelf on Christmas Eve and had to buy it for his wife! Of course Paddington was housed by the family living at WINDSOR Gardens. Things have meaning, even in 2022, but the moment the Queen was buried Putin escalated his war which is evil not just because it is bad, but also because it is chaotic, mad, founded upon lies and non-forgiveness, and an absurd, meaningless fantasy for its leader, even as it is more deadly for the attacking soldiers even than the attacked. And that's 2022 - the choice between good and evil is clear. Halloween offered more temptations of evil, that even killed 150 in Seoul (say "Soul"), and that was the forces of evil striking bak yet again. Only God can solve our problems now, I am convinced. Not politicians, surely not celebrities, but also not scientists - who somewhat failed over COVID.
I watched Godspell for the first time yesterday and I am completely in love the movie and the songs. I just listened to this song and my eyes got wet and I cried while the song was still playing. On The Willows is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. I love it so much
How lovely for you to have this movie added to your heart now! I was maybe 12 when I got to see the play (my very first theater!) - and it became a part of me for the 50 years since.
I was a teenager when it first came out and it spoke to my yearning soul. To hear you share your experience seeing it for the first time now (well, 4 years ago) make me so happy!❣
I cry everytime I see this. But at the same time, I just can't stop watching it. This is so impactful. It teaches me what love is. And love is... As GOD is.
This is a wonderful musical, with many beautiful songs, funny moments, and pathos as well. Its only neglect is the single event that established Christianity for the last 2,000 years -- the Resurrection of Christ.
This was the first story of the life of Jesus that could relate to. Everything beautifully thought out and portrayed in a way that a child of the 60's and 70's could understand. The first for me that spoke to me and that I could get a grip on the meaning of that Holy story. Now that I am older I understand even more the meaning of the songs and the words. I still get this inward rush of emotion from this musical which helped me translate the written word in the Bible and it's meaning for me in my life.
This song and By My Side are my favorite! This tune is taken from Psalm 137. I have to say that I like the studio album (original cast) version of this song. better. This movie shares a message that the world desperately needs today: to know and follow Jesus!
Tears stream down my cheeks as my emotions overwhelm me. I know there are problems in my life, although one must have hope and faith things will get better.
Keep that faith in your heart n mind brother George Jesus Christ gives you a road to walk and if you walk that road with God in your life and heart you will receive the greatest reward ever and that is eternal life in God's kingdom stay strong and stay faithful and love those like you want to be loved you will be OK brother george
I heard this a lifetime ago when I first got saved. Still praising God and this song means more to me now than back then. I wish it included the first verse of the Psalm 137 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea we wept when we remembered Zion. Feels like we're living in Babylon now.
That was then ... how much worse are things now?! I was Born Again on 28-2-21, so I am praising God too - including today a few hours ago because of the wonderful beauty of yellow leaves fallen on green grass! Doubtless the people in the above movie would have "got" that / "seen" that well enough. It's only acting, isn't it? But don't you think they look at him / Him in a VERY special way?
Oh my god every blessed time I listen my eyes fill with water one of the absolute #1 favorites from the godspell soundtrack and CD hard too imagine I was only ten years old when this was written produced recorded and release oh my goodness it's just so forever lovely❤❤❤
I went to purchase this soundtrack at Amoeba records in Hollywood,CA about 5years ago it's so touching and uplifting most of the cast are deceased but their spirits live on forever, and ever they really left behind some awesome memories we can all treasure spiritually I'm awakened as I listen to this powerful message in these lyrics makes me tear up a bit.
Yes, what a wonderful cast, and what wonderful memories of my childhood. Four are deceased, David Haskell, Jeffrey Mylett, Merrell Jackson, and Lynne Thigpen.
Today was a *very* hard day. I had to obey God by walking away from a bad relationship. I know it's for the best, but I still miss the man, the relationship, but this scene reminds me that Jesus understands my grief because *He* went through His Garden of Gethsemane and that He is touched by the feeling of our infirmities.
You can tell all the disciples think is that they’re going off to carry Jesus’ messages and they’re time as a community is over, but Jesus is the only one aware of the fate that awaits Him. You cannot help but choke and feel your heart break.
This scene is so heartbreaking. Theyre all trying to put on a happy face for Jesus when they all know they may never see him again. The girl with the little tiger puppet especially kills me. What a beautifully put together scene.
If love were still this simple, it would be a marvelous thing. Oh, to have the obedience and trust of a child again. Such honest, pure belief in a loving Lord. You know, before the reception gets muddled by the world.
Jesus told us in the world you will have persecution. But don't lose faith, who the Father has given Him will not slip out of His hand. He has overcome the world and is the first born from the dead. In a little while, we shall be ressurected. Just keep your focus on Jesus.
I loved this movie, even before I became a Born Again Christian. The songs and storyline are beautiful depictions of Jesus' path as he lead his disciples and was crucified.
Thanks for posting - acted in Godspell in high school, musical director for many many productions lucky to see the fantastic and underrated Broadway reboot in 2012 - always very emotional!
Yeah, overwhelming almost! The ladies doing the melody and the fellas doing the harmony--that blend plus their type of voices just is intoxicating and clear at the same time
From Dogspell: “On The Window (Stair)” 🎼 On the window stair We hung out and whined, For our cats weren’t there We cried 🎶 All us dogs At the door enters Murph 🎵 (repeat) Singing “See us dogs, All us dogs are cryin’” (repeat twice) (C) 2023 Paul Klenk I think that’s Victor Barker as Cheezis.
have watched too many times love who he kisses on the mouth !!! specially poigniant today with systemic racism ... lesson to be learned and witnessed !!! just gorgeous !!
I remember this play, the awards, and the music, but never got to see it in person. I believe I saw it when it became a film or a TV movie. As I watch it now I feel like a great creative space has been lost... and I laugh too because EVERYBODY had Afros :)
Still watching and crying in 2024....I was born in 1965, was only 8 years old when this movie came out...I can remember watching it over and over with my older sister...incredible film and music...❤
Me too. I was 16 years old in 1973. This was so compelling to my young searching spirit. I cried then. I cry now. So so gorgeous. As he bids each of the disciples good bye. Heartbreaking.
Same experience. Watched over and over because my brother worked in a movie theater (I was born 1964). Gave my life to the Lord and this movie played such a big part. I still ‘sing’ the scriptures when I come to a part quoted in Godspell.

Still crying and humble before this message! And praying for israel!!!!!!!❤
Victor captured Jesus' humility and his comforting nature.
he sure did.... he has a quiet loving nature in this....
I'm so blessed that I and my dear departed wife were young people in the late 60's.
All the actors in this scene appear so childlike and endearing. They also appear as if they're not acting. It's a very emotional scene to watch.
I remember seeing a live stage production of "Godspell" back in the late 80s/early 90s...and at least one or two of the cast members had tears on their faces during this scene (they chose not to use clown/face paint in this production). I have a friend who used to be an acting teacher (probably a bit more Method than Stanislavsky), and he says that a critical part of being a good actor is being able to resonate with what your character is feeling. If you can't, then the audience will pick up on it no matter what you do in an attempt to fake it and they won't consider you convincing.
theater kids interacting
After all these years this song still brings me to tears...and I'm glad of that.
Me, too
Me too
Me 4!
I’m just in awe watching this, I was 10 years old when this came out and it brings back such beautiful memories❤
yes it does
Tiger girl breaks my heart every time I watch this.
I love the Love of this musical.❤❤❤❤
I agree. This part was made for Victor Garber. He was perfect for the role of Jesus. He had such a beautiful and gentle way of portraying Jesus. Love him!
It's ironic that Garber is gay, which automatically makes him an object of hate for so many Christians.
Godspell was the first Broadway musical my parents took me to as a child. My mom won tickets to Godspell plus backstage passes. I got to meet most of the cast that was in the movie backstage, when they played on Broadway. In fact, Victor Garber walked out into the audience as Jesus, and I got to sit on his lap.

bill xx, this is my new favorite story:)
WOW !
Love it!
Weird place to flex but ok
What an amazing experience. I would have loved that, especially if I had gone to the show with my beloved Grandparents.
Such a beautiful melody and soft music 🎵🎶😊
I went to parochial school for 12 years and haven't been a practicing catholic since graduating in 1981, but this scene absolutely breaks me up.
Victor Garber made such a gentle and beautiful Jesus
rkgk1517 He is wonderful as Jesus.
I prefer Ted Neeley's Rockstar interpretation in 1973's Jesus Christ Superstar, but to each their own!
@@colliric I like Superstar for the story, and Godspell for the music.
@@theevilascotcompany9255 Superstar was completely unbiblical whereas Godspell was spot on.
tell me it's not amazing that Victor Garber went on to such an amazing career! I almost didn't recognize him!
My middle school drama club went to a theater competition in Bucks County PA in (I believe it was) 1982 and a rival high school put on a production of Godspell.

Psalm 137 sang so beautifully..touched by what Jesus went through, portrayed so well by these actors.
The Acoustic Guitar always gets me, especially the riff as he walks away. 😢
This breaks my heart and then rebuilds it.
Jay Degasi Yes! Exactly as I’d described it almost 50 years ago. ✌🏽
Nicely stated.
We recently did this show in my school, on the last show everyone was crying, the cast, crew, pit, the director, the audience all of us.
I'm thinking Jesus was deeply saddened at this moment, but He knew it wasn't forever, but it must have been hard for Him to leave His followers when He ascended into Heaven, knowing He wouldn't "see" His followers until their deaths. This scene helps me see how much He longs to greet me in Heaven.
I love this song. They did such a great job on this film. Victor Garber was so beautiful and gentle.
I was in a college production of Godspell. Amazing experience. This song nearly broke us all each time. Singing through tears is quite the challenge.
I can imagine.
It is such a moving moment
Looking at these older comments as I too cry! I was 20 when it came out and it still holds a special place in my heart and faith!
I was twelve when I first watched this and this was the first musical I fell in love with and my first crush was on Victor Garber! I want to thank him and the cast for expanding this autistic woman’s world of music and musicals!
Mine was Joanne Jonas ❤️
Oh my goodness, Victor Garner was my first crush and I'm also on the spectrum. Godspell taught me that Jesus loved me, regardless if anyone rejected me.
I have autism also. It's weird I'm not usually a fan of musicals. But this is a musical I love
This remains one of my favorite songs from Godspell.
Unbelievable hope and love captured here.
I saw this movie when it came out in the 70s. I still can’t shake this song. It’s part of me.
PSALM 137
1By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept,

2We hanged our harps
Upon the willows in the midst thereof.
3For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; And they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying,
Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4How shall we sing
The LORD's song in a strange land?

Cried so much to this when Jesus/Willis was saying goodbye to everyone at the last supper before his crucifixion 😭

It's not that God is loving, it's that love is God. There can be no other way.
love Victor Garber in this movie he was amazing in God Spell
I´m from México all the songs in this movie are very good, the singers are great, all that has been lost.
That night Jesus knew what was going to happen yet he was the one who was comforting to his followers.
he'd told them the end of their journey together was near. They were already grieving.
Well, it was just the whole plan from the beginning. "He sent Himself to have Himself killed as a sacrifice to Himself to save humanity from Himself".
I heard this a lifetime ago when I first got saved. Still praising God and this song means more to me now than back then. I wish it included the first verse of the Psalm 137 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea we wept when we remembered Zion.
Feels like we're living in Babylon now.
That was then ... how much worse are things now?!
I was Born Again on 28-2-21, so I am praising God too - including today a few hours ago because of the wonderful beauty of yellow leaves fallen on green grass! Doubtless the people in the above movie would have "got" that / "seen" that well enough.

I would love to buy it but I can't find it anywhere.
2023 still so beautiful
I love this play! Takes me back to my Jesus movement days!
gets to me everytime....ever since I first saw it when I was younger. 😣
WOW!!! WHAT A PERFECT CAST LINE UP!!! There will never be another one like it!!! I still LOVE this version of Godspell!!
I can never watch this without tears coming to my eyes. 😢
Today was a *very* hard day. I had to obey God by walking away from a bad relationship. I know it's for the best, but I still miss the man, the relationship, but this scene reminds me that Jesus understands my grief because *He* went through His Garden of Gethsemane and that He is touched by the feeling of our infirmities.
This part gets me ugly crying, Every. Dang. Time.
GODSOELL was THE hot ticket to see when I arrived in NYC to start my career. This clip is so emblematic.
You can tell all the disciples think is that they’re going off to carry Jesus’ messages and they’re time as a community is over, but Jesus is the only one aware of the fate that awaits Him. You cannot help but choke and feel your heart break.
Then they fell asleep while He sweated blood praying to God
This scene is so heartbreaking. Theyre all trying to put on a happy face for Jesus when they all know they may never see him again. The girl with the little tiger puppet especially kills me. What a beautifully put together scene.
on the willows is the piano playing softly and tranquell beautiful ............
A touching song from a movie that made us all think.
I can't watch this without crying...very moving scene and song.
I think this is my favorite song from the show! It's so incredibly beautiful, it always gets me very teary eyed when I hear it!
Absolutely amazing!❤🎉
Beautiful! God bless everyone who made this very special movie!
This song still makes me cry 😭
This anthem just reaches a place in the soul that is created there for it too reach.....I'm there now
Victor garber. Was the man who built the Titannic. I was so surprised.
This is just so Beautiful
This also show how Jesus is like his Father...they both love people of all nations and tribes.😃😃😃😃
Our high school did this play-- school district got a lot of flack from people. We built a stage on the stage-- had a lot of fun
Absolutely Beautiful ❤🎶🙏
Victor Garber did Titanic Cinderella and many other things what an actor ✌️
And a gay Jesus 😎
Tears
Such a beautiful song! I love this musical so much!
I'm undeserving Jesus, and still you went for me. 😭
Just beautiful! 😥
The way each "Disciple" looks at Him!
It goes beyond acting, I feel.
They see it.
With the Holy Spirit the boundaries between art and life are blurred
If love were still this simple, it would be a marvelous thing. Oh, to have the obedience and trust of a child again. Such honest, pure belief in a loving Lord. You know, before the reception gets muddled by the world.
Jesus told us in the world you will have persecution. But don't lose faith, who the Father has given Him will not slip out of His hand. He has overcome the world and is the first born from the dead. In a little while, we shall be ressurected. Just keep your focus on Jesus.
That's not how I remember childhood.
Thank you for posting this song ~ such an unexpected gift
How lovely that he says goodbye to all the players,
Fascinante esse grupo e esse momento 🎉
It still gets me, I remember after all these years, I was there
I loved this movie, even before I became a Born Again Christian. The songs and storyline are beautiful depictions of Jesus' path as he lead his disciples and was crucified.
Who can't drift away too this..........
I’m getting really choked up
How did Daniel Tiger get this gig?
Gorgeous song.
It just shows that God/Jesus loves all the same, but each person is different.
Thanks for posting - acted in Godspell in high school, musical director for many many productions lucky to see the fantastic and underrated Broadway reboot in 2012 - always very emotional!
1:42 OOOOOOFFFFF that harmony. For Christ!!
Yeah, overwhelming almost!

Often copied never improved on.Legendary cast.
From Dogspell:
“On The Window (Stair)”
🎼 On the window stair
We hung out and whined,
For our cats weren’t there
We cried 🎶
All us dogs
At the door enters Murph 🎵
(repeat)
Singing
“See us dogs,
All us dogs are cryin’”
(repeat twice)
(C) 2023 Paul Klenk
I think that’s Victor Barker as Cheezis.
have watched too many times love who he kisses on the mouth !!! specially poigniant today with systemic racism ... lesson to be learned and witnessed !!! just gorgeous !!
Oh that horrible systemic racism!
I sang a nd Off Broadway version of this at University of Notre Dame De Namir in Belmont California. Oh what a beautiful song
i am indeed crying. It is the meanings behind all of the interactions that is just killing me.
from these humble beginnings this lovable super clown rose up to become a Union fleet admiral on the Orville
I remember this play, the awards, and the music, but never got to see it in person. I believe I saw it when it became a film or a TV movie. As I watch it now I feel like a great creative space has been lost... and I laugh too because EVERYBODY had Afros :)
I Love You God
I would love to watch dis with my niece and nephew and talk about Jesus. Hope they put this on TCM soon
I sang this duet while I was in the pit and the lead was on the stage. It worked but it wasn’t easy!
Drifting off to this
It was a theater in the round and the staging was great. They had John the Baptist slide down a chute sing Prepare the Way of the Lord.
