Lyrics and translation
Original
I met a preacher man from Galilee
Who opened up blind eyes and made him see (mm)
He said, "Come and follow Me"
"I'll show you what life is meant to be" (mm)
I said I'd never turn away
I said I'd never leave His side all the days of my life
But I am weak and I'm afraid
I traded my Lord for pocket change
Yeah, maybe I'm like Judas? Maybe I'm that thief?
Maybe I'm that sinner that put You on that tree?
For 30 pieces of silver, he ain't worse than me
'Cause he betrayed You for money
And I did it all for free
No, I'm never gon' forget it
Forever, I'm indebted to You
No, I'm never gonna leave this life the same
Lord, I'm here, and I repent
So clean my heart and clean my hands
Oh, Lord, my only hope
I'm a sinner and a broken man
By Your blood and by Your grace I live and forget
That I said I'd never turn away
I said I'd never leave His side all the days of my life
But I am weak and I'm afraid
I traded my Lord for pocket change
Yeah, maybe I'm like Judas? Maybe I'm that thief?
Maybe I'm that sinner that put You on that tree?
For 30 pieces of silver, he ain't worse than me
'Cause he betrayed You for money
And I did it all for free
No, I'm never gon' forget it
Forever, I'm indebted to You
No, I'm never gonna leave this life the same
Oh, I pierced Your hands and I stabbed Your back
I went and turned away from the only friend I had
30 pieces of silver, life can't be that cheap
Even in my brokenness, the Savior died for me
Maybe I'm like Judas? Maybe I'm that thief?
Maybe I'm that sinner that put You on that tree?
For 30 pieces of silver, he ain't worse than me
He betrayed You for money
And I did it all for free
Maybe I'm like Judas? Maybe I'm that thief?
Maybe I'm that sinner that put You on that tree?
For 30 pieces of silver, and I still can't believe
That God in all His mercy went and purchased me
