Question
In the early 80's my church put on a musical called (I think) "The Messiah".  It
had been done professionally, with a famous Christian male in the title role.  
(No, it's not Handel's work).  There was a song in the musical that Peter sang
to the Lord, with some lyrics that went, "I say you are the Christ, the son of
the living God..."   
I'm trying to find that song, but all my searching brings up stuff about
Handel's work.... can you help?  Thanks.

Answer
That's a tough one.  There are various contemporary versions of Handel's work, entitled, "Young Messiah", "the new young messiah" and "handel's messiah, a soulful celebration" ... But there's also, "Emmanuel a musical celebration of the life of christ" all available on Amazon.com  But I can't tell you 100% that your song is on any of those.
