Thirty Pieces of Silver
by Josh Casto © 2008

Thirty pieces of silverWas all Judas would needThirty pieces of silverTo satisfy his greedThirty pieces of silverJesus knew and would declareThirty pieces of silverJudas was in Satan's snareThirty pieces of silverDrove Judas to betrayThirty pieces of silverAnd that was his tainted payThirty pieces of silverAnd just a friendly kissThirty pieces of silverCaused Jesus to die like thisThirty pieces of silverBut the guilt would never healThirty pieces of silverJudas hanged himself in a fieldThirty pieces of silverWas all Judas could hoardThirty pieces of silverA fraction of heaven's storeThirty pieces of silverJust a temporary pleasureThirty pieces of silverNot like Our King's treasureThirty pieces of silverTo gain it is a lossThirty pieces of silverChrist paid much more on the cross
