Thirty Pieces of Silver
(Andrea Esquivel)
by Andrea Esquivel
He came to this world to save us, to show us the path of life.
How to live in joy and peace without drowning in the strife.
A loyal friend betrayed Him, and they put Him up on trial.
They found Him guilty without reason, and they sentenced Him to die.
CHORUS
Accused of being different, not hurting anyone.
Just doing the will of His Father, what damage was there done?
Given as a ransom for one such as I,
For thirty pieces of silver, Jesus was crucified.
Oh the pain He must have suffered, as the cruelty He did feel.
He carried His cross and our sins, and by His stripes we are healed.
As He walked to that place, where they thought His life would end,
He would die to keep His promise that He would rise again.
My friend, if you don't know Him, won't you come to Him today?
He died for you, He took your place, He is the truth, the life, the way.
