The Devil's Plan

He slipped away into the night.
His jealous heart had lost the light.
For thirty silver coins he’d take,
To sell his Lord for money’s sake.

Then Satan entered into him.
The faith he once had grown went dim.
Though one of twelve who heard each word,
He schemed against his rightful Lord.

Betrayers walk a fading path,
Their end is bound in holy wrath.
The Devil's plan could never stand,
For Christ still reigns at God’s right hand.

He watched the priests with greedy eyes
He thought about the wicked lies.
“What will you give me?” Judas said,
They counted silver out instead.

From then he watched for just the time.
A quiet place to do the crime.
Away from crowds that loved his name,
He marked his Lord for death and shame.

Betrayers walk a fading path,
Their end is bound in holy wrath.
The Devil's plan could never stand,
For Christ still reigns at God’s right hand.

At night he led the armed crowd in.
He knew the place where Jesus’d been.
He walked ahead with cheating style,
He used a kiss, a greeting smile.

They took him off to stand accused.
Despised, rejected, mocked, abused.
He bore their wrath with quiet grace,
No word of anger crossed his face.

Betrayers walk a fading path,
Their end is bound in holy wrath.
The Devil's plan could never stand,
For Christ still reigns at God’s right hand.

They took him off to stand accused.
Despised, rejected, mocked, abused.
He bore their wrath with quiet grace,
No word of anger crossed his face.

The coins he loved fell from his hand,
Their hollow ring exposed his stand.
For thirty pieces Judas sold,
His faith for silver, cheap and cold.

We’ve all betrayed in lesser ways,
We’ve all denied His truth some days.
Yet still His mercy calls us near,
Our fallen hearts He longs to clear.

Betrayers walk a fading path,
Their end is bound in holy wrath.
The Devil's plan could never stand,
For Christ still reigns at God’s right hand.
Betrayers walk a fading path,
Their end is bound in holy wrath.
The Devil's plan could never stand,
For Christ still reigns at God’s right hand.
The Devil's plan could never stand,
For Christ still reigns at God’s right hand.
