Judas, Our Brother

My heart began to race as I drank of Your blood
And again I felt the Sleep wash over me like a flood
Blessed and anointed, I stepped out in Your name
Blinded, I thought I carried purpose like a flame

I'm struck deaf and dumb, alone amongst the olives
How could I have just given up the Lamb without blemish, spotless?
I thought I'd be the one to spring the trap
That knowing look in Your eye as you handed me the cup

Bearer of Your shining light it's all been building to this
How was I so blind?

Realization has pulled the veil from my eyes
Sleep has given way to cold sobriety
Now I finally see that Your purpose wasn't revolution
Rather, unconditional, loving inclusion
I watched the rock sheath his weapon

An empathetic hand on the head of the Roman
I don't want their tainted money
That was never my motivation
My spring on the latch, failed midnight incursion
I thought I knew The Word, heeded Your lessons
But my pride has left me in ruins

How was I so blind? How did I miss it?
How was I so blind? How did I miss it?

Oh, Brother Judas, woe to thee!
I've handed over my Savior, damned to hang from a tree
Oh, Brother Jesus, Your name blessed be
I will hang with thee; I will hang with thee

(How was I so blind? How did I miss it?)
Oh, Brother Judas, woe to thee!
I've handed over my Savior, damned to hang from a tree
(How was I so blind? How did I miss it?)
Oh, Brother Jesus, Your name blessed be
I will hang with thee; I will hang with thee
