What Your Favorite Godspell Song Says About You:

Prepare Ye: Is it crack? Is it weed? What drugs do you take, or are you just high on life?

God Save the People: I, too, am healing from religious trauma

Day By Day: Hello, LGBT community

Learn Your Lessons Well: You’re a stage production purist who hates the movie. I politely disagree, but you’re valid

Bless The Lord: You go up and dance if there’s live music around. Keep at it!

All for the Best: You’re an old time theatre kid who craves the smell of dance rosin

All Good Gifts: Ya damn hippie! (tbf so am I)

Light of the World: You live for chaos and have probably committed a crime. You also take the “let’s have some wine” line a bit too seriously

Turn Back, O Man: Okay, material gworl. I see you

Alas for You: You enjoy callout posts and internet drama

By My Side: You’re definitely sentimental about the little things and you slept with all your stuffed animals as a kid because you felt bad that they’d be lonely

We Beseech Thee: Yeehaw, pardner! Giddy up, I do declare 🤠

Beautiful City: You enjoy Jesus x Judas unironically

On The Willows: Ugly sobbing during a movie is perfectly okay and I want you to know that

Finale: You’re either here for the sick guitar licks or you’re a sadistic bastard who thinks the crucifixion is funny
