Thirty Pieces of Silver

Thirty pieces of silver

How much are they really worth?

They were given to betray the Savior

A man’s greatest mistake on earth.

 

He received them thinking he was wealth

Filling his life with strife

God’s Spirit showed him his action

He then took his own life.

 

He returned the silver to giver

Casting it down on the floor

The givers guilty conscience

Were ashamed to ask for more.

 

The betrayal took Jesus to prison

In chains some slapped his face

They nailed Him on Calvary Cross

Guilt on the human race.

 

They thrust a sword in his side

Both blood and water came out

This blood has power over all sin

Praise God “Hallelujah” we shout.
