matthew - original cast of his story the musical lyrics

[matthew]
my whole life i heard the stories
ma’ said we were waiting for a savior
a messiah who would bring jews back their glory
and punish sinners for their behavior

but this promise wasn’t for us
we were the outcasts, the sinners, the lost
so tired of hoping, we gave up
there’s no one to save us, or so we thought

now i’m getting ahead of myself
let’s rewind a while back
it was the morning of an average day
take the cash collect the taxes
but day after day i grew weary
it was starting to get serious
in fact it was the tactic
i was trapped collecting taxes

a little extra in my pocket
made it all so hard to stop it
so now i’m bound

[jesus]
only lost ones can be found

my yoke is easy and my burden is light
for my sake come away
follow me out from the night
i know you’re breaking
leave the taxes you collect
for my sake come away
follow me

i’ll give you rest, i’ll give you rest
i’ll give you rest, i’ll give you rest

[matthew]
shocked i stood and swallowed then
i agreed to follow him
turning a new leaf here’s to the new me
swing over my place, grab something to eat
come eat, my friend
come meet my friends
tell ‘em what you told me
making sinners holy again
again again again

[jesus]
my yoke is easy and my burden is light
for my sake come away
follow me out from the night
i know you’re breaking
leave the sin and just confess
for my sake come away
follow me

i’ll give you rest, i’ll give you rest
i’ll give you rest, i’ll give you

[big pharisee]
why does he eat with sinners?

[little pharisee]
why does he dine with rats?

[both pharisees]
son of god rollin’ in the mud
would ya look at that, look at that

[jesus]
stop sit and listen
those aren’t sick don’t need a physician
i didn’t come for the righteous
but sinners to repentance

matthew give your all for me
matthew will you follow me?

[matthew]
for what it’s worth
i’d follow to the end of the earth
because

your yoke is easy and your burden is light
for your sake come away
from this pitch black night
you’re right i’m breaking
leave the taxes i collect
for your sake come awake

[jesus]
follow me
i’ll give you rest
i’ll give you

[jesus & matthew]
rest

[jesus]
i’ll give you rest
i’ll give you

[jesus & matthew]
rest

[jesus]
i’ll give you rest
i’ll give you rest
