Hey Judas
I’ve been thinking ‘bout you for a long, long time
And the more I think, the more I think I find
Your story’s just like mine
I watched you
Slip away into the night that fell so black
I drew my sword, intending to attack
But then I turned my back
Was it the money? Was it the glory?
Did you think you were the hero of our story?
Did the love he taught us never find a home?
Or maybe you just figured you were too far gone.
Oh, I wish you’d just held on.
I wish you’d just held on.
If I’m honest
The only thing back then that really saved my neck
Was my fear of fire, of what might happen next
I couldn’t take that step
Then three days later
One rolling stone turned the world upside down
You can’t imagine the amazing grace I found
I just wish you’d been around
Was it the money? Was it the glory?
Did you think you were the hero of our story?
Did the love he taught us never find a home?
Or maybe you just figured you were too far gone.
Oh, I wish you’d just held on.
I wish you’d just held on.
Some people
Want to curse the very mention of your name
Make you the villain, try to stick you with the blame
But we’re all guilty just the same
Hey Judas
I’ll grieve your end until my living days are through
‘Cause now I know exactly what his love can do
Making sinners like brand new
Even ones like me and you
Hey Judas
