Jesus Or Judas For Me

(By David W. Brown)

Judas is a name
of praise and God’s fame,
but Iscariot has brought it shame.

For years he lived with the Savior.
Not many times did he waiver.

Yet all it took was an offer
of silver and earthly ease,
to miss God’s love and peace.

O Judas it is late.
Why must you go out in hate?

You left the table full of friends,
who would have let you make amends,
but instead you chose it all to end.

The decisions were made in haste,
but Jesus’s death was not a waste.

They died, each upon a tree,
but only one was set free.
Which one speaks for me?
