30 Pieces Of Silver Lyrics - Hank Williams

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 

30 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. 

It was there on the hillside 

the multitude came 

and found our dear Savior 

and took him away. 

They bruised and they mocked him 

thorns in Crown round his head 

and His Garment of purple 

showed the blood stains of red.

Far off in the mountains 

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, 

and there in the mountains 

he took his own life. 

30 pieces of silver 

30 sheckles of shame, 

was the price paid for Jesus, 

on the cross He was slain.
