30 Pieces Of Silver lyrics

Tis a sad but true story

From the bible it came

And it tells us how Judas

Sold the savior in shame

He planned with the council

Of high priest that day

30 pieces of silver

Was the price they would pay



30 pieces of silver

30 shackles of shame

Was the price paid for Jesus

On the cross he was slain

Betrayed and forsaken

Unloved and unclaimed

In anger they pierced him

But he died not in vein



Twas on there on the hillside

The multitude came

And found our dear savoir

Then took him away

They bruised and mocked him

Thorns was crowned around his head

And his garment of purple

Showed the blood stains of red



Far off in the mountains with his face towards the sun

Judas begged merci for what he had done

He gave back the silver

For his heart filled with strife

Then there in the mountain he took his own life





30 pieces of silver

30 shackles of shame

Was the price paid for Jesus

On the cross he was slain
