Lyrics
Thirty Pieces of Silver
Ronnie Bee's Gigabyte Band 2014
If a man, could purchase life, what would it cost to buy?
To know you'd live, forever more, and never ever die,
There was a man, who paid the price, of life for you and me,
He was God's Son, the price he paid, was Calvary.
Thirty pieces of silver, was the price that betrayed,
Thirty pieces of silver, was the price of a lowly slave,
Thus, they valued our Master, when they plotted his fall,
Thirty pieces of silver, for the Lord of us all.
Though he knew, that he must die, he suffered all the pain,
And there he bore, our guilt and sin, he shouldered all the blame,
When he looked down, from on the cross, he said "Father forgive",
I give my life, to ransom them that they may live.
And the wages for our sins, was the price that he paid,
As he purchased our pardon, saving us from the darkest grave,
How he suffered in agony, when they let his blood fall,
While he bore all our sorrow, tasting death for us all.
When they laid, him in the tomb, they said that he was dead,
All his disciples, in grief and shame, had run away and hid,
But come the dawn, of the third morn, the stone was rolled away,
Death could not win, he came to life, and lives today.
Thirty pieces of silver, such a small price to bring,
Thirty pieces of silver, for the life of our Royal King,
Oh, how priceless is Jesus, for, as we have believed,
Thirty pieces of silver, our salvation received.
Thirty pieces of silver, such a small price to bring,
Thirty pieces of silver, for the life of our Royal King,
Oh, how priceless is Jesus, for, as we have believed,
All the riches of heaven, are now ours to receive.
