It took t^Ehousands of silver coins to sway D^Aelilah, It was l^Eust that left Samson with no ^Bmhair, It took a m^Eulti-colored coat to t^Aurn the sons of Jacob, It was ga^Ezing from the roof that left King Da^Bmvid in despair. ^E

It took c^Erafty words to make the fruit ap^Apealing, It was f^Eear that guided Peter to u^Bmntruth, It took t^Ehirty silver coins to s^Away the heart of Judas, Tell me, w^Ehat will it ^Bmtake to sway ^Eyou?

You ^Aread a verse, you sing the hymn, the ^Bmmoney's in the plate ^{E A}Sundays you mark out for Him, but even ^Bmthen you show up late ^E You ^Abought the shirt, you wear the cross, but ^Bmsin throughout the week ^{E A}For thirty shekels and a noose, you ^Bmkiss him on the cheek ^E

Is it ^EGoogle that provides your great ^Atemptation Or your ^Eego that feeds you the greatest ^Bmlies? Is it ^Esubmission to authority that ^Agives you great frustration Or your ^Eboastful prayers and pious words that leave you ^Bmrighteous in your eyes? ^E

Is it ^Edate night watching movies in ^Aseclusion, Is it ^Esitting in the traffic wasting ^Bmtime, Is it ^Ewalking past the night club in a ^Apool of your confusion, Is it ^Epicking up the bottle after a ^Bmlong and lonely night?^E

He ^Agives you bread, He cleans your feet, He ^Bmeven calls you friend; ^E The ^Asick and naked you despise but He ^Bmloves you to the end.^E You ^Aweep about Him on the cross but the ^Bmhammer's in your hand ^E For ^Athirty shekels and a noose, you ^Bmbetray the Son of Man ^E

Perhaps the ^Eissue doesn't lie with all we're ^Adoing Perhaps the ^Eproblem lies in what we fail to ^Bmdo Perhaps our ^Eminds are too wrapt up in what goes ^Aon with you and me We don't ^Egive Him the a^Bmttention that He's due^E

The ^Equestion's not the cost of your ^Abetrayal Our ^Egreatest sin's not straying from the ^Bmtruth The ^Eissue at the heart of the very ^Areason that we fall Is just one ^Equestion: How much ^Bmis He worth to ^Eyou?

'Cause you can ^Alive a holy life, call Him ^BmMaster, God, and Lord ^E You can ^Ashare His name and give Him all the ^Bmtime that you afford ^E But rel^Aigiosity that's built on ^Bmyou or any man,^E For ^Athirty shekels and a noose will ^Bmsuccumb to Satan's plan. ^E

You ^Aread a verse, you sing the hymn, the ^Bmmoney's in the plate ^{E A}Sundays you mark out for Him, but even ^Bmthen you show up late ^E You ^Abought the shirt, you wear the cross, but ^Bmsin throughout the week ^{E A}For thirty shekels and a noose, you ^Bmkiss him on the cheek ^E
