[Verse 1] He called twelve men to walk His road Dust on their feet, hearts being molded Judas held the bag, counted the gold Trusted with more than silver he was holding He saw the cracks no one could see Read every thought in secrecy Still gave him place, still gave him bread Still let him walk just like the rest [Pre-Chorus] No guarded love, no distant line No change in tone, no hidden sign [Chorus] Love your enemies like Jesus did So no one could tell who the traitor is Sit at the table, call him friend Hold nothing back, love without end Break the bread, pour the wine No less mercy, no warning sign If that’s the measure of what love is Then I’ve got miles to go to live like this [Verse 2] Judas walked through the healing crowds Saw the power, heard it loud Sent out with truth, the sick made well Carried the message he would later sell No second class, no lesser role No mark to show a drifting soul Every step, the Savior knew Still walked beside him like the others do [Pre-Chorus] While I would’ve built my walls He gave Judas everything, nothing small [Chorus] Love your enemies like Jesus did So no one could tell who the traitor is Washed his feet like there was no blame Spoke to Judas just the same Bore the weight of what would come Still kept him close, still called him one If that’s the measure of what love is Then I’ve got miles to go to live like this [Bridge] “Love your enemies, bless when cursed” Simple truth… but it gets worse When it’s close, when it’s deep When betrayal cuts underneath “Leave all vengeance in My hands” “Answer soft, don’t strike back” Truth I know, but rarely choose Lord, make my heart look more like You I keep score, I shut doors You kept giving more and more I turn cold when I’m denied You stayed faithful, even knowing why [Breakdown] This ain’t feelings, this is choice Dying daily to my voice Not what’s right in my own eyes But surrendering my right to fight [Final Chorus] Love your enemies like Jesus did So no one could tell who the traitor is I was the one who turned away Still You loved me anyway Now I see what love must be Not just words, but loyalty If You could love Judas to the end Then teach me, Lord… to love like that again [Outro] At Your table, make me sit With the ones I’d rather quit Break my pride and bend my will Teach me how to love them still.
