Array ( [sid] => 38098 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Oh Hapless Judas [time] => 2004-03-10 12:45:16 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Oh hapless Judas! - preordained by God
For treason so that profit may accrue
Oh pitiful and dreadful human lot
So that salvation came to me and you

Struck blind by high ambition, - it is true
And disappointed by the Master so,-
This happens to all those that do pursue
A goal with muddled minds, and then sink low

He did betray the Master, yes, - betray,
But fathomed not the consequence if it,
We do betray the Lord on any day
And comfortably in a church pew sit.

Lo! Judas did repent and took the rope
In shame and boundless sorrow of his deed
Had lost faith in forgiveness, trust and hope,-
We hope in spite of ugly deeds and greed.

A Christian is revealed by the degree
That he trusts God- that boundless mercy may
in infinite compassion find a way
To pardon those who thoughtlessly betray.

Judas despairingly did grip the rope,
But Christians putting all their trust in HIM
Must understand - for Judas too is hope
And on His day the Savior will redeem

Blessed by the sculptor artist who did see,
And his work,- amazingly portray
A Judas set from raven tunnels free
To find in Jesus’ arms his lasting stay

How nice to have your beautiful poetry in our view.
That man Judas did pay, but loved the way
you fit him in today!
many sit in many a pew, but when asked to love, few do, they are like Judas ED.....they are lovers of money and not Him.
Wonderful Poem very timely too!
love you
Consue
