Let us now look upon, a situation from to learn
|
Judas and the thief, one to heaven, one to burn
|
Not too long ago, and in a land not far away
|
One was saved one was lost, this is history
|
|
Judas was religious, stay away from that mask
|
The thief was truly guilty, and here is where it's at
|
Once you understand that, guilty before God all we are
|
You can receive forgiveness, in repentance at the cross
|
|
Judas was never a true friend, just pushing his own glory
|
Smiling in your face, stabbing you in the back, "doing this for God" is his
|
story
|
Sitting on that paper throne, elevated oh so high
|
Well now the match's been lit, later days to the empire of lies
|
|
The thief on the other hand knew a wrong from a right
|
Doing wrong much of the time and sometimes doing right
|
But he recognized the truth when he spoke to Jesus Christ
|
His deeds had nothing to do with it, he'd never earn heaven as a right
|
|
The damnation of Judas and the Salvation of the thief
|
|
As for Judas in the scheme of things, as this point it's just a matter of
|
time
|
Hanging from the rope he spoke, the witness does not lie
|
The facts are in and the veredicts out - and it cannot be denied
|
He sealed his fate with and act of friendship - betrayer - no friend of mine
|
|
The thief in the situation, knowing he deserved to die
|
Called out to Immanuel, Lord remember I
|
I come to you, with nothing more than the wretched man I am
|
Guilty in my iniquities deserving only to be damned
|
|
It's for your sins I am Crucified, the Spirit confirmed time and again
|
The thief in his pain had joy in his heart - forgiveness it was his
|
On his way to heaven he still had to deal the situation
|
Understand that you bring nothing in repentance which merits salvation
|
|
The damnation of Judas and the Salvation of the thief
