Thirty Pieces of Silver Lyrics
Thirty Pieces of Silver - Wilma Lee/Stoney Cooper
Written by：ODELL MCLEOD
Tis a sad but true story from the Bible it cameand
It tells us how Judassold the Savior in shame
He planned with the Councilof high priests that day
Thirty pieces of silver
Was the price they would pay
Thirty pieces of silver
30 shekels of shame
Was the price paid for Jesus
On the cross he was slain
Betrayed and forsaken
Unloved and unclaimed in anger they pierced him
But he died not in vain
It was there on the hillside the multitude came
And found our dear Savior
And took him away
They bruised and they mocked himthorns in Crown round his head
And his garment of purple
Showed the blood stains of red
Far off in the mountains
With his face toward the sun
Judas begged Mercy
For what he had done
He gave back the silver
For his heart filled with strife
And there in the mountains
He took his own life
30 pieces of silver
30 sheckles of shame
Was the price paid for Jesus
On the cross he was slain
Betrayed and forsaken
Unloved and unclaimed in anger they pierced him
But he died not in vain
