Thirty Pieces of Silver

Описание: Happy Easter, everyone. I had hoped to upload another Easter-themed song with the Pressley Girls this year, but they both came down with the Flu. I'm enjoying a bad sinus infection myself, but I was able to shoot this, although the vocal is weak. If you haven't heard this song before, it's a great narrative of the Gospel of Christ's Crucifixion. Someone last spring requested that we shoot more videos outside, so I tried to oblige with this one. The little chair that I was carrying was in case I didn't come across anything good to sit on while playing. While I was in the woods, I strained through a couple more songs, so maybe I can upload them down the road. :-) This is shot a few hundred yards behind our home near some old logging roads. It's surprising how loud the woods are, especially with an airplane crossing over thrown in for good measure. :-) Anyway, we hope you enjoyed this. Lyrics are below:

'Tis a sad but true story
From the Bible it came,
And it tells us how Judas
Sold the Savior in shame.
He planned with the council
Of high priests that day.
30 pieces of silver
Was the price they would pay.

30 pieces of silver,
30 shackles of shame
Was the price paid for Jesus.
On the cross he was slain
Betrayed and forsaken
Unloved and unclaimed,
In anger, they pierced Him,
But He died not in vain.

'Twas on there on the hillside
Where the multitude came.
They found our dear Savior
Then took him away.
They bruised Him and mocked Him.
Thorns were crowned around his head,
And his garment of purple
Showed the blood stains of red.

Far off in the mountains with his face towards the sun
Judas begged mercy for what he had done.
He gave back the silver
For his heart filled with strife
Then there in the mountain, he took his own life

30 pieces of silver,
30 shackles of shame
Was the price paid for Jesus.
But He died not in vain.
