Lifehouse Everything Drama
This is one of the most powerful videos I’ve seen. I weep like a baby EVERY TIME I watch it! I am overwhelmed by the power of the gospel and the battle won for our messed up condition. I am including the script you can click here to download and print Lifehouse Skit. Our youth used this last summer in Haiti as a nonverbal way to communicate the gospel and the church erupted in applause as Christ won the battle for our hearts.
Script:
During the very beginning as the Cello is playing Jesus walks around looking at the girl and paradise.
You may have to figure out when he actually comes in since the cello part is fairly long.
(blows on her to wake her up) Finally here once speak to me (she mimics Jesus like a puppet, just like you saw in the video, the left leg, right leg, left leg left arm, right leg right arm.)? I want to feel you, I need to hear you
You are the light (Shows her paradise) that’s leading me (Waves his hands around to make rose bush and gives her rose, she smells it.) to the place (Jesus waves his hands again and makes a tree, picks apple, gives it to her, she eats it)?Where I find peace again.
You are the strength (creates dove and flies away) that keeps me walking (Create cloud for rain, cups hand for water, she takes and drinks.)
You are the hope (Both dance-twirl twice until “Trusting”) that keeps me trusting
(Lust comes in and dances with her, puts rose in her mouth, Jesus tries to grab her but lust grabs her back.)
(Flirts with her)? (Lust pushes Jesus back away a little)You are the light, to my soul
You are my purpose ?You’re everything, and how can I (”LUST starts hovering in front of Jesus)(”MONEY” comes in playing keep-away with the money, she tries to grab it several times, he drops a few she picks them up, he grabs them from her.) Stand here with you? And not be moved by it? Would you tell me how could it be any better than this, Yeah?
(On “Yeah” MONEY starts hovering in front of Jesus and Drinking comes in, both hang on each other, girl with bottle gives it to main girl, she takes a drink, tries to give it back. Party girl takes it back while hovering)
You calm the storms and you give me rest (Party Girl starts hovering in front of Jesus and ” MODEL” comes in shows off. ?You hold me in your hands. ?You won’t let me fold. ?You still my heart. (MODEL takes pony tail out of girl’s hair) when you take my breath away (Girl acts like she’s throwing up)
Would you take me in (F-Model starts hovering in front of Jesus and Demon comes in take me deeper now? And how can I (DEMON MOTIONS FOR HER TO CUT HER ARM, SHE MIMICS HIS MOVEMENTS, Two long stroke cuts, stand here with you and not be moved by you(demon take his gun and puts it in her hands, forcing her to shoot her self.
Would you tell me how (She reaches for Jesus, demon pulls her back) could it be any better than this? And how can I (Demon lifts her hand with the gun, to her head) (she holds it there trying to decide what to do) stand here with you (Demon starts hovering) and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this? Cause (girl throws down gun and runs to Jesus, except all the sins and deceptions are holding her back.
{NOTE: This part needs to be a little violent since she’s desperately trying to get to Jesus and they are trying to keep her from him. Make sure they tear off the black shirt while they are wrestling with her}
You’re all I want, you’re all I need? You’re everything.. everything ?You’re all I want ?You’re all I need (Jesus is pulling her toward him with an “invisible panta-mime” rope, but the “sins” are still struggling with her)?You’re everything.. everything (Her black pre-cut t-shirt rips off revealing a white t-shirt)?You’re all I want ?You’re all I need ?You’re everything.. everything ?You’re all I want ?You’re all I need ?Everything.. everything (RIGHT on the drums beats>
Girl drops to the floor, as Jesus come in and all of the “Sins” are pouncing and trying to get past HIM while he is holding them back from her. She is praying and worshiping on the front of the stage)? And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by it? Would you tell me how it could be any better than this (All of the Sin’s fly back dead, as Jesus break of them.)
And how can I stand here (Jesus picks up the girl to her feet, dusts her off, with you and not be moved by it? Would you tell me (both do the twirl dance twice ten Jesus “dips her”, both embrace (hug)) how could it be any better any better than this
And how can I (Both walk off the stage embracing and lifting hands (Jesus still showing her paradise).stand here with you and not be moved by it? Would you tell me how could it be any better than this? Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
