Porter Wagoner Thirty Pieces of Silver


Send "Thirty Pieces of Silver" Ringtone to Cell
It’s a sad but true story, from the Bible it came
It tells us how Judos, sold the Savior in shame
He planed with the counsel, of high priest that day
Thirty pieces of silver, was the price they would pay

Thirty pieces of silver, thirty shekels 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 vain

Was there on the hill side, the multitude came
And found our dear Savior, then took Him away
They smote, and they mocked Him
Thorns were crowned, round His head
And His raiment, of purple
Showed the blood stains, of red
Far off in the mountains, with face toward the sun
Judos begged for mercy, for what he had done
He gave back the silver, for his heart filled with strife
And there in mountains, he took his own life

Thirty pieces of silver, thirty shekels of shame
Was the price paid for Jesus, on the cross He was slain
