Donetta Harless Poet Rhyme

Judas

Judas, Judas, didn't you know
From the cross, forgiveness flows
Upon yourself you brought much strife
In betrayal, you ended your own life

Judas, Judas how many shall follow
Turning their backs, for a better tomorrow
God's not in it, only their greed
That better tomorrow, their dirty deeds

Judas, Judas, they sit among God's own
Taking the communion with a heart of stone
They trade the love of a savior so dear
To fill their pockets and walk in fear

Judas, Judas, they walk in deceit
As scripture their tongues so proudly speak
Deceiving a world, headed for disaster
But they will never deceive the Holy Master

Judas, Judas, in their wisdom they will fall
As they miss the hour, the midnight call
In man's steps they will continue to follow
Hell holds a place for their better tomorrow

Judas, Judas they are seated among the dead
In a fiery hell, they will lift their heads
With their words leading many astray
To stand in judgment that final day

Judas, Judas for silver they traded their soul
Never to walk upon the streets of gold
They strip Jesus and mock him in shame
To their own understanding, God is to blame

Judas, Judas the nails continually driven in
Through the professed church and its sin
They will follow man to the end of the earth
In return an eternity of hell is birthed

Judas, Judas it is sad to see
Why didn't you and they trust in He
A hell where fire is everlasting
Will swallow many with their own understanding

Judas, Judas, why did you stray
Didn't you know, Jesus is the way
Now in hell you lift your eyes
Where the soul of greed never dies

Judas, Judas if you could only speak
To a lost world truly in need
I am sure from hell you would say
Lay down the world, or your soul will pay

Judas, Judas, Jesus loved you so
Above all this you should know
To fall from His amazing grace
Never to look upon redemptions face
