Across the table He looks at his face Desperately hoping to show him His grace He taught him the ways of His Father above Showing him kindness, patience and love How can the Lord feel a love so strong? For the man who will do Him so wrong? For Jesus had to know from the start The spirit that Judas had in his heart Over three years they walked side by side The humble master and the servant full of pride Jesus loved him beyond his wildest dreams Even though He saw his future schemes Jesus said, "Love your enemy," you see And He loved Judas no matter what came to be We all have a Judas in our life That someone always causing us strife What if you knew he'd help bring your death? Could you love him through your dying breath? Could you walk with him every day? Always sharing Christ, even knowing what you'll pay? This is having the mind of Christ To Love your neighbor at any price Written by James Corwin |
