30 Pieces of Silver
Been gone for way to long
Wasting away on borrowed time
Piece together my silent frown
Misery has robbed my gentle grace
Hate every stagnant aspect of life
Children abandoned scared and ashamed
Walking streets they cannot trust
Dealer on every garbage corner
Junkie pan handles another quarter
Everyone has their hand out
Promised land Rich with Milk and Honey
Frozen earth bleeds and weeps
Garden of Eden lost to man
Ever wonder what happened to Calvary
Love one another as I have loved you
A man just like me Flesh of my Flesh
Died to self for you and me
Reaching out He said...
'Please Father forgive them...
for they not what they do'
Piercing His side He was left to die
This is world is not my home He did arise
A wanderer passing through
On a journey to represent
Love the wounded
heal the sick
serve the poor
share His faith
Drench this barren land
with love.. Jesus style.
