lyrics

Person 1:
Have you heard? He’s here, in Capernaum, our little city by the sea. We wonder what will he do, what will he say in Capernaum.

People:
We’re going to the synagogue
We heard that he’ll be there
John (the Baptist) called him the “Lamb of God”
The Pharisees just “foul”
But now’s our chance to meet the man
Named Jesus face to face
So we’re off to see this Lamb of God
Who’s come to Capernaum

Chorus: He’s here! What will he say? What will he do?

People:
We heard the heavens opened up
When he was baptized
A dove came down
A voice spoke out
From heaven above
We heard he changed water to wine
At Cana’s Wedding

(Chorus)

(Tax Group comes in and starts setting up their booth)

TC’s:
We are despised for our occupation
They often find us intimidating
Religious rites are not for us
Working nights as a fisherman is a bust!

People:
Oh great! Here come those tax collectors!
Those very genuine betrayers
Of the Jewish land, the Jewish faith, the Jewish people
In one word: Sell-outs!

TC’s:
We’ve no regrets
For who we are
It’s shameless, you might think to call us
To be outcasts
In our own homes
The lowest of the lowest low
But we’ve got wealth and luxuries
And all you people don’t!

People: He’s here! (What will he say? What will he do?)
TC’s: We’re here!

All:
He’s here!
People: What will he do?
TC’s: Setup our booth
People: What will he say?
TC’s: It’s time to pay!
People/TC’s: What will he/we do in Capernaum?
