The Disciple

If you are a servant of the most high God in heaven,
You are then equal to the original Eleven.
At the first there were twelve. but one was evil all his days,
And sought to destroy Jesus instead of giving him Praise.

Like a comparison of being either dirty or clean,
The Bible doesn't say anything about being in between.
The Eleven were skeptical till Jesus gave evidence
That living for Jesus didn't take much intelligence.

It took faith in Jesus the Righteous Son of Man,
But also The Son of God by his own Eternal plan.
Judas didn't follow the righteous Lord of Love,
His greed and love of money was what he was thinking of.

In spite of all the miracles that Jesus did and said,
He allowed the love of money to rule his heart and head,
And the mask of being a disciple hid the evil in his heart,
For Judas then did something He thought was pretty smart.

He betrayed the Son of God for thirty silver coins,
Showing he's as wicked as the evil plot he Joins.
And when they took Jesus and treated him too rough,
And knowing then that what He had done was just enough

To crown his guilt when the thought first began
And He connived to betray the son of man.
And now, along with Guilt He was so overcome
That He had done something both wicked and dumb.

He said: "I want to right an evil wrong if I can,
For I have betrayed the life of an innocent man"
And the chief Priests answered: "we don't care,
Whatever you do now is your own affair."

Throwing down the Silver, He went out the door,
Knowing He could not be Christ's servant any more.
Now if at any time, Christ's servant you would be,
Give your entire life to Jesus and do it willingly.

Be prepared to follow Jesus every single day
And for every obstacle He will make a way
To go around or over it, and sometimes, too,
He might even help you go right straight through.

If you're pushed into a corner and there's just no way out
You belong to Jesus and there's just no room for doubt.
The problem may continue and it may even get worse
But you are a servant of the Master of the Universe.

He has not forgotten you, but knows right where you are
And he will be ready if Satan goes too far
And may just be waiting to make you a way
When you've learned to be thankful, and praise, and pray.
