Judas at the end of the rope

No salvation and no hope

Judas at the end of the rope

No hope



Did he wonder if it had to be

As he succumbed to his destiny

Did he wonder about what he missed

As his lips formed to kiss

Satan makes for easy stomping

Knowing how he's behind it all

But what to say about Judas

What day really saw his fall



Did thirty pieces really turn the tide

Or was betrayal always in his mind

How was he born and raised

Was his life filled with dark days

Was the serpent his companion

Or was the deal already done

Did his father break his bones

Did he steal or was he stolen from



Judas bought the death that bought us life

Fulfilled the chronicle from before time

It had to happen but it was his choice

Though the book was written he had a voice

Logic mysterious unassailable

Til the end of time concealed

Like Pharoah's heart hardened

So God's glory would be revealed
