lyrics

1. Jesus at the table, Jesus with his friends
Said he had to suffer, suffer so and then
Jesus wept for all that was to come
Jesus wept, his earthly life was done.

2. Judas, he betrayed him, Judas, Jesus’ friend.
Gave him to the soldiers, money he could spend.
Sold right there, like cattle in a run,
Sold right there, the slaughter had begun

3. Peter, he denied him, Peter, Jesus’ friend;
Three times he denied him, “I’m not one of them”.
When the cock crowed, grief was sharp and raw -
Peter, shamed, was shaken to the core.

4. Hung him in the heavens, Jesus was their friend
Painted him with lawyers, laughed until the end.
Laughed and sneered, ‘til everything was still,
Laughed and left him hanging on the hill.

5. Laid him down on Friday, where were Jesus’ friends?
Then at dawn on Sunday, seed was born again.
Born from dying, sprouting in the ground.
Born from death that life could now be found.
