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 VAIN
Twas on there on the hillside 
The multitude came 
And found our dear Savior
Then took him away
They bruised Him and mocked Him 
Thorns were 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 mercy 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
