Thirty Pieces Of Silver
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 priests that day,
Thirty pieces of silver was the price they would pay.
Thirty pieces of silver, thirty 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.
'Twas there on the hillside, the multitude came
And found our dear savior then took him away;
They smote and they mocked him, thorns were crowned 'round his head,
And his raiment of purple showed the bloodstains of red.
Far off in the mountain 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,
Then there in the mountains he took his own life.
Trinta moedas de prata
Tis um triste, mas verdadeira história, da Bíblia veio,
E diz-nos como judas vendeu o salvador de vergonha,
Ele planejou com o conselho de sumos sacerdotes naquele dia,
Trinta moedas de prata era o preço que iria pagar.
Trinta moedas de prata, trinta siclos de vergonha,
Foi o preço pago por Jesus na cruz, ele foi morto,
Traído e abandonado, mal amada e não reclamados,
Na raiva, traspassaram-lo, mas ele não morreu em vão.
'Twas lá no morro, a multidão veio
E encontrou o nosso querido salvador então o levou;
Eles feriram e zombavam dele, espinhos foram coroados em volta de sua cabeça,
E as suas vestes de púrpura mostrou as manchas de sangue de vermelho.
Longe na montanha com o rosto para o sol,
Judas pediu clemência para o que tinha feito;
Ele devolveu a prata para o seu coração cheio de conflitos,
Então lá nas montanhas, ele tirou a própria vida.
