Verse 1 I walked beside You on dusty roads, Heard every word You said. Watched blind eyes open wide with hope, Saw life raised from the dead. But shadows grew inside my heart, A whisper turned to fire— A hunger for a different kingdom, …I listened to the liar. Pre-Chorus They asked me where You’d be tonight… I said the words, gave them the place and time… Chorus Thirty silver pieces in my hand, Price of a promise I should’ve never made. I betrayed an innocent man, And worse… the very Son of God. Oh, the weight of what I’ve done— It crushes like a stone. Thirty silver pieces… And now I stand alone. Verse 2 I told myself it had a purpose, That maybe You would fight, Show power, call Your angels down, Unleash Your holy might. But when You didn’t raise Your voice, When You just met them with peace… My heart collapsed in bitter truth— My darkest sin released. Pre-Chorus I kissed Your cheek to mark the place… Not bearing to look You in the face. Chorus Thirty silver pieces in my hand, Blood money burning through my soul. I betrayed an innocent man, The One to make the broken whole. Oh, the shame of what I’ve done— This anguish I can’t hide. Thirty silver pieces… My Lord, I crucified. Bridge I see You standing silent, Though You know every part— The lies I told, the secret plans, The greed within my heart. Why didn’t I cry out for mercy? Why did I turn away? You still would’ve called me “friend,” Even on this darkest day. Verse 3 I threw the silver on the floor, It echoed like my fall. I’d trade a thousand lifetimes now If I could just recall… The moment when I chose the price Instead of choosing You— The Savior I had walked beside, The One I thought I knew. Final Chorus Thirty silver pieces couldn’t buy The peace my soul was longing for. I betrayed the Lord of life, Nothing will be as it was before. Oh Jesus, You were innocent— Still You looked on me with love. Thirty silver pieces… Can never be enough. Outro If only I had trusted You… If only I had stayed… Forgive the one who sold You out, The lost one You still would save.
