Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
four great men who are now gone
they spoke of His mission on earth
following His virgin birth
Peter, James, Judas, Thomas
all chosen to spread the promise
the others were lesser known
but Disciples still
they started out all alone
and witnessed Calvary hill
They healed the sick and the maimed
casting out devils in His name
they faced great danger
preaching of the One born in a manger
There was one weak link in the chain
one who sought monetary gain
the elders knew he could be bought
his name: Judas Iscariot
They gave him his silver pieces
thirty in all
waiting for that fateful night
for the kiss to bring about His fall
All this was pre-ordained
there was nothing to gain
in the final analysis
by their callousness
little did they know
His capture
was but a prelude
to His rapture
And our redemption
