Hank Williams - Thirty Pieces Of Silver Lyrics
Artist: Hank Williams
Album: Unreleased Recordings: Gospel Keepsakes
Genre: Country
- Songwriters: Odell Mcleod
Tis' a sad but true story
From the Bible it came
And it tells us how Judas
Sold the Savior in shame
He planned with the council
Of high priest that day
30 pieces of silver
Was the price they would pay
30 pieces of silver
30 shackles 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 vein
'Twas on there on the hillside
The multitude came
And found our dear Savior
Then took Him away
They bruised and mocked Him
Thorns was crowned around His head
And His garment of purple
Showed the blood stains of red
Far off in the mountains
With his face towards the sun
Judas begged mercy
For what he had done
He gave back the silver
For his heart filled with strife
Then there in the mountain
He took his own life
30 pieces of silver
30 shackles of shame
Was the price paid for Jesus
On the cross He was slain
