Despair of Judas

I will rest here, awhile / His Face! / His face! Not comely now. / There is no beauty in it. / It is scarred into my heart. / It is burned into my soul / and never will it lift from me until I die. / Die? / Will death quench the flames which consume me? / Traitor, / not endless years in hell will pay the crime of murdering the son of God. /

And last night, He dealt with me so gently. / He washed my feet. / He bade me put my hand into the cup with his, / while in my purse there jingled the coins which bought his blood. / It were better for that man / that he had never been born! / Who? / Who but I, / who but I, / I who betrayed him! /

"What you do, / do quickly" / he knew, and kept my sin a secret. / Friend, where unto have you come, / Judas, / Judas, / do you betray the son of god with a kiss? / Friend! / Friend! / He called me his friend! / The man I betrayed called me his friend. / How hell must have laughed. / Why did not the mountains fall on me? / Why did not the earth gape and swallow me up? / Why did not the sea overwhelm me? / Friend. Ha! Ha! / Friend Ha! Ha! Ha! The world will know Judas / as the friend. / The world will point to Judas as a by word, and as a pledge of broken faith! /

Do you think Judas you can hide from the father of your friend Jesus? Not even in hell can I escape. Not in the grave for the earth will spurn my corpse. Not in the heavens for Jesus the friend is there.

What hope for Judas.… / What hope for Judas…. / Not even in hell can I escape for he called me devil, /and devils cried out /" torment us not, Jesus," / Judas, faithless friend, / devil, / one of whom it would have been better not to have been born. / There is no hope for you, /no hope, / no / hope / no / hope…./
