Verse:
Em
I met a preacher man from Galilee
C G
Who opened up blind eyes and made him see (mmm)
Em
He said, "Come and follow me
C G
I'll show you what life was meant to be" (mmm)
Pre-Chorus:
C Em
I said I'd never turn away
G
I said I'd never leave His side all the days of my life
C Em
But I am weak and I'm a-fraid
G D
I traded my Lord for pocket change?
Chorus:
Em C G
Yeah, maybe I'm like Judas, maybe I'm that thief
Em C D
Maybe I'm that sinner that put you on that tree
B7
For thirty pieces of silver, he ain't worse than me
'Cause he betrayed You for money, and I did it all for free
Em C
Post-Chorus:
G Em C
No, I'm never gon' forget it, forever I'm indebted to You
G
No, I'm never gonna leave this life the same
Verse:
Em
Lord, I'm here and I repent
C G
So clean my heart and clean my hands, oh Lord, my only hope

I'm a sinner and a broken man?

By Your blood and by Your grace, I- live and forget

Oh, I pierced Your hands and I stabbed Your back
Em
I went and turned away from the only friend I had
B7
For thirty pieces of silver, life can't be that cheap
Em D
Even in my broken mess, a Savior died for me
Chorus:
Em C G
Maybe I'm like Judas, maybe I'm that thief
Em C D
Maybe I'm that sinner that put you on that tree

B7
For thirty pieces of silver, and I still can't believe
Em B7 Em
That God and all His mercy, went and purchased me.
