For thirty pieces of silver Jesus was delivered. Judas went without haste Betraying with a kiss upon Our Savior's face. " Father Forgive Him ! " His beloved Peter denied Three times before the cock crow cried. " Father Forgive Him !" To Jesus Our Savior Came the suffering and pain. The soldier's whip cracked- thirty-nine slashes to Jesus' back! His clothes were shed; replaced with a cloak of red. " Father Forgive Him !" A crown of thorns placed upon Our Lord’s head for the King of Jews. A mark to his soul With the wearing of their spit upon his face. " Father Forgive Them !" For thirty pieces of silver, To Jesus, the pain was delivered. The people gave a shout- "Crucify and let Barabbas out!" For thirty pieces of silver They forgotten - HE IS JESUS OF NAZARETH ! THE MESSIAH !, THE HOLY KING ! "Father Forgive Them !" With the crown of thorns To Calvary Hill he was lead. Placed between two thieves of men, He would die for our sins. Jesus chose to be nailed to the cross, So the sins of others would be lost. Only in his blood Our sins were hidden. With a sign above his head, I AM THE KING OF JEWS (Luke23:34) "Father Forgive Them For They know Not What They Do." For thirty pieces of silver, Into Heaven, Jesus was delivered. Our Lord was sacrificed So he could rise. All who believe in him, ask forgiveness of their sins. Then we will take his hand- Walk into the promised land. © Jody Dickey
