Deep in sorrow, Jesus said

“One of you will betray Me.”

Shocked and confused

John asked Him who it will be

“The one for whom I dip the bread is the one.”

Jesus then dipped the bread and gave to

Judas, son of Simon Iscariot

“What you do, do so now immediately.”

At that moment, Satan entered him

Why?

You had it all

Money bag in hand, getting up from the feast

Judas then went out to Caiaphas the high priest

The price that they agreed upon was thirty

Pieces of silver, standard slave's price

On what will you spend with it, betrayer?

What's worth more than having eternal life?

Little fool, you little fool

Here's your dirty money

He saw that Jesus was condemned

He knew that he had betrayed

Innocent blood that will be spilled

To pay for sins upon the hill

Christ could have paid for all that you

Did that very sorrowful day

The priests then said it was not their problem

“You see, it is up to you.”

So Judas, filled to the brim with his guilt

Took upon himself the task

To fashion gallows instead of forgiveness that he could have asked

He loved you

Chosen as one of the twelve

He knew you just as well

I know that some folks might say

He wasn't in the book of life anyway

But the lesson we can learn in here is this

Suicide is far from God's righteousness

We've all betrayed God in some way

Those who are His are the ones that have faith

Rope around his neck

Tied to a tree

The moment he jumped

When the fibers were taught

He sold himself for hell

He traded Christ for naught

For naught
