JUDAS WAS HIS NAME

I thought I heard your voice

When you came into the room

The look upon your face

A time of restless doom.

You knelt before the traitor

You knew right there and then

He would be the one

He was not your friend

You went into the garden

On that dark and lonely night

You prayed to your Father

You knew the time was right

The man who did betray you

Judas was his name

He agreed to let them take you

Thirty coins just the same

On this night too

It was then

When Peter said

I don’t know you

You knew dear Lord, the Shepherd

Your flock would surly scatter

You even knew the kiss

But would it really matter.

In the garden on that day

You cried out to the Lord

Forgive Them Father

That is what you said.

The tears that I shed now

Will my sins be justified

Forgive me Father

You were CRUCIFIED.
