"He's a man
He's just a man
And I've had so many
Men before
In very many ways
He's just one more"

I wouldn't sing those words either. He is not just a man. Rather, Christians believe He is both fully human and fully Divine . . .

However, I do respect the PRIVATE school's right to handpick their student body. I think that if I were the girl I would have just mouthed the words, in stead of taking a risky, though corageous, stand.

To paraphrase Spinal Tap--there's a fine line between courageous and whiney.

If you read the whole song, it's her confusion on that "just a man" point that is causing her the trouble. She is only now awakening to her spirit and doesn't realize that it's the "more than just a man" that is causing her trouble.

I've been changed
yes, really changed

That said, I still don't think somone who really met Jesus and was touched by Him would have had that confusion.

Shalom.

That's Mary M. reasoning with herself . . . trying to convince herself that she shouldn't be so hung up on him . . . "he's just a man." But as she sings she realizes he isn't just a man at all---he's much more. That's why she's confused.

The musical is set in Jesus' time, not 2,000 years afterwards.
