Christian Music/Trying to find an album from 30+ year old memories.

Question
I can remember snippets of music and lyrics to songs from an album that my parents played when I was a child (1970s), but I haven't been able to find any references by searching for the lyrics.  The album was either a collection of songs telling the gospel story, or it was possibly a musical.  My parents no longer have the album and remember only about as much as I do, although my dad thinks he remembers it having a black and white cover.

One song was about Peter's denial of Jesus
"Oh I will not deny you
Oh no I won't deny you
That's what he said."
...

Not just once but one, two, three!
"

Another song:
"We bring the fish that we have caught.
Come and eat.
Come and eat.
"

Another song was people singing about Jesus.
"
...
Who is this man?
Who is this man?
...
"

A song about the Last Supper.

"This is my body
This is my blood
..."

I can't remember the lyrics, but I'm also pretty sure there was a song about Doubting Thomas.

That's about all I can remember.  Any help narrowing it down would be appreciated.

Answer
Hmm..I googled every combination I can think of. the only thing I can think of is the Christian Rock Opera "Truth of Truths" from 1971. While it isn't in black and white it is a dark color. Sadly it's out of print but there are two songs that have been featured on many compilations.
