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
