I had forgotten how much these songs have shaped my life!! Run Your Own Race and Every Step of the Way (I sang as a duet with my sister) changed my life at the time until now! I was singing Trust the Lord randomly this morning and decided to try to find a recording! Thanks for posting this music!

This brings back so many memories. The youth choir from my home church, First United Methodist Church in Starkville, MS did this in 1985. Thanks for posting this!!!

Fun to find this in 2020! Thanks. I did the musical with my Youth Choir at the International Baptist Church of Stuttgart, Germany. 1989. I used the song "Trust the Lord" so many times in the 1990s at dozens of Youth events, recording it with Common Good of Louisiana College. I will teach it and lead it tomorrow 3rd janvier 2020, (via Zoom), for the Emmanuel International Church of Paris (Rueil-Malmaison) Sunday morning service. Let's see how God makes our path this year of 2021!

I did this musical as a freshman in High school in 1989. Since i was the only male in the group, all the male parts were my solos.

This was the second youth musical I was in at church, and I love it! Thank you for this!

I'm so glad to see this!! I've been looking everywhere for this...does anyone know whe to find the script??? A remake if this would be amazing!

I directed this Musical with our youth fellowship in Bangalore, India in the 1990s. It was such a blessing to many. We did it in our church and then in several of the schools in Bangalore. It is such a great piece of music and the lyrics are so meaningful and really bring out the issues that are faced in the Christian walk. It is a timeless musical. I am looking for the track for this musical. I would like to do it again with the youth. Can anyone guide me if there is a track available?
