Jesus Was a Friend of Mine Lyrics

Jesus was a friend of mine

With whom I once shared some bread and wine

It's true I knew him well you see

But not as well as he knew me

Riding together from town to town

Where the traveling on my body took its toll

He was a gifted preacher, I called him "teacher"

And laid that heavy burden on my soul

Jesus was a friend of mine

A truer friend I'd never find

I remember when he washed my feet

And in return when I kissed his cheek

Forgive me Jesus for what I did

For the money I took, for the secret I hid

I never meant to cause you pain

I'll kill myself too, if it's all the same to you

Yes I am Judas, you know my name

But you my friend would do the same

You kill your father, you kill your son

You kill yourself when you are done

You kill for money, with a kiss or a gun

Killers of saviors, friends

You are Judas too
