Where do you find the love to offer he who betrays you?
For you have lived forever and your love will never end
So easily I disparage, self-seeking the work of my art
But my bones like plastic, do buckle backward now
By me you were abandoned, by me you were betrayed
I cannot be forgiven, my wages will be paid
Yet in your arms and in your heart forever I have stayed
The weak and the down trodden fall on broken legs
And there you have come to me, at the moment I bathe in my sorrow
For those more lovely and admirable is least among the saved
So in love with myself, sought after avoiding tomorrow
Your beauty does bereave me, and how my words do fail
For your body that was broken, how can this be enough?
This simply will not do, no alabaster jar, no diamond in the rough
Jesus, my heart is all I have to give to you, so weak and so unworthy
The price of atonement is more than I've found to offer up as my plea
As I walk past a smile I cast, fervor in my stead
Your glory illuminates my life, and no darkness will descend
And offer to wash my feet as I offer to disobey you
The bleached bones of animals bound by leather strips
So faithfully and dutifully I award you with betrayal
Dance through the air with laughter as I wield this wicked whip
And where would I fit, Jesus? What place is left for me?
As you did warn me carpenter, this world has weakened my heart
I lay in this field by Judas', anticipate the plow
