Josiah Queen Judas Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I met a preacher man from Galilee
Who opened up blind eyes and made him see (Mm)
He said, "Come and follow Me"
"I'll show you what life is meant to be" (Mm)

[Pre-Chorus]
I said I'd never turn away
I said I'd never leave His side all the days of my life
But I am weak and I'm afraid
I traded my Lord for pocket change

[Chorus]
Yeah, maybe I'm like Judas?
Maybe I'm that thief?
Maybe I'm that sinner that put You on that tree?
For thirty pieces of silver, he ain't worse than me
'Cause he bеtrayed You for money
And I did it all for free

[Post-Chorus]
No, I'm nevеr gon' forget it
Forever, I'm indebted to You
No, I'm never gonna leave this life the same

[Verse 2]
Lord, I'm here, and I repent
So clean my heart and clean my hands
Oh, Lord, my only hope
I'm a sinner and a broken man
By Your blood and by Your grace I live and forget

[Pre-Chorus]
That I said I'd never turn away
I said I'd never leave His side all the days of my life
But I am weak and I'm afraid
I traded my Lord for pocket change [Chorus]
Yeah, maybe I'm like Judas?
Maybe I'm that thief?
Maybe I'm that sinner that put You on that tree?
For thirty pieces of silver, he ain't worse than me
'Cause he betrayed You for money
And I did it all for free

[Post-Chorus]
No, I'm never gon' forget it
Forever, I'm indebted to You
No, I'm never gonna leave this life the same

[Bridge]
Oh, I pierced Your hands and I stabbed Your back
I went and turned away from the only friend I had
Thirty pieces of silver, life can't be that cheap
Even in my brokenness, the Savior died for me

[Chorus]
Maybe I'm like Judas?
Maybe I'm that thief?
Maybe I'm that sinner that put You on that tree?
For thirty pieces of silver, he ain't worse than me
He betrayed You for money
And I did it all for free

[Outro]
Maybe I'm like Judas?
Maybe I'm that thief?
Maybe I'm that sinner that put You on that tree?
For thirty pieces of silver, and I still can't believe
That God in all His mercy went and purchased me
