Tune: Rivaulx
('Father of heaven, whose love profound')
John 13 v.21
*******
At the Last Supper, Jesus did
Reveal betrayer, was not hid
Was Judas, he would do the deed
The devil planted evil seed
Jesus was troubled, He did know
Which of disciples would do so
For pieces of silver thirty
Enough price for Judas it be
Yet help us Lord, forgive where we
Betray, forget you for nought, see
Our love grows cold, desire does fade
Casual of sacrifice you made
Restore us, heal, and fervent flame
Kindle in hearts, the Spirit same
He be the one, us empowers
Gives us your blessings dew-showers

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8. metre from a 'Thought for the Day' Bible verse. Some may be happy to betray Jesus for no pieces of silver, for free, let alone Judas' 30 pieces of silver. Yet I feel it means hostile betrayal, bitterness, traitorous, etc, not daily faults where we let Him down. There is forgiveness for such times.

Thanks Gold. You mean, in a questioning way - 'What blessings?' As I say to the TV - what comedy?
Or as exclamation - 'Wow, what blessings!'
