BETRAYAL - JUDAS ISCARIOT
Betrayed by a close friend
betrayed by the authorities
betrayed by the whole crowd
We betrayed you, Jesus
forgive us
In the friend we let down
in the secret we let out
in the confidence we broke
we betrayed you, Jesus
forgive us
In the person we passed by
in the needs we ignored
in the victim we had no time for
we betrayed you, Jesus
forgive us
In the homeless person we avoided
in the eyes we did not seek
in the wealth we did not share
we betrayed you, Jesus
forgive us
Then, you forgave, Jesus
Now, forgive
Put a new spirit within our hearts
of commitment to our community.
Be with those let down by society
by employment, by their families
by friends and neighbours
and by themselves.
Put a new spirit within our hearts
of commitment to our community.
Guide those in positions of power and influence
empower those who serve with sensitivity and compassion
put a new spirit within our hearts
of commitment to our community.
Our community is your community
divided by 2000 years but nothing more
Problems and needs just the same
fear and isolation just the same
Then, you forgave
Now, you forgive
Jesus, unchanging
Jesus, for ever the same.
