THE RANSOM

CHORUS

30 pieces of silver/ was the price that was paid

Paid for my Saviour/ whom Judas betrayed

But a much better ransom/ by Jesus was made

When He traded His life/ through His sacrifice/ so death could be stayed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They came to the garden/ and took Jesus away

For Judas with a kiss/ his Lord he would betray

But he was grief stricken/ took his own life that day

For 30 pieces of silver/ couldn't take the guilt away

REPEAT CHORUS

They sent Him to the cross/up there on Calvary

They stripped Him of His robe/ and nailed Him to that tree

They mocked Him and scorned Him/ hung Him high for all to see

The ransom that He paid there/ was for all humanity

REPEAT CHORUS

No amount of silver/ and no amount of gold

Could ever pay the price/ to ransom one man's soul

Only innocent blood/ could ever fulfill that role

The ransom that Jesus paid/ will never be fully told

REPEAT CHORUS
