Hank Williams 30 Pieces Of Silver Lyrics

30 Pieces Of Silver Lyrics

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 priest that day

30 pieces of silver 

Was the price they would pay



30 pieces of silver 

30 shackles 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 vein



Twas on there on the hillside 

The multitude came 

And found our dear savoir

Then took him away

They bruised and mocked him 

Thorns was crowned around his head

And his garment of purple 

Showed the blood stains of red



Far off in the mountains with his face towards the sun 

Judas begged merci for what he had done 

He gave back the silver 

For his heart filled with strife

Then there in the mountain he took his own life 





30 pieces of silver 

30 shackles of shame

Was the price paid for Jesus 

On the cross he was slain
