John-Michael Tebelak (September 17, 1949 – April 2, 1985) was an American playwright and director. He is best known for creating the musical Godspell, based on the Gospel of Saint Matthew, with the composer Stephen Schwartz, who wrote the music. Some of the lyrics are original to the show, while others were taken from either the Bible or traditional hymns in the 1940 Episcopal hymnal. more »

Father, hear Thy children's call
Humbly at Thy feet we fall
Prodigals confessing all
We beseech Thee, hear us

We, Thy call have disobeyed
Into paths of sin have strayed
And repentance have delayed
We beseech Thee, hear us

Come sing about love
That made us first to be
Come sing about love

That made the stone and tree
Come sing about love
That draws us lovingly
We beseech Thee, hear us

Sick, we come come to thee for cure
Guilty, we seek Thy mercy sure
Evil, we long to be made pure
We beseech Thee, hear us

Blind, we pray that we may see
Bound, we pray to be made free
Stained, we pray for sanctity
We beseech Thee, hear us

Come sing about love
That made us first to be
Come sing about love

That made the stone and tree
Come sing about love
That draws us lovingly
We beseech Thee, hear us

By the gracious saving call
Spoken tenderly to all
Who have shared man's guilt and fall
We beseech Thee, hear us

By the love that longs to bless
Pitying our sore distress
Leading us to holiness
We beseech Thee, hear us

Grant us all from earth to rise
And to strain with eager eyes
Towards the promised Heavenly prize
We beseech Thee, hear us

Come sing about love
That made us first to be
Come sing about love

That made the stone and tree
Come sing about love
That draws us lovingly
We beseech Thee, hear us
