Lyrics
Thirteen Men;
It was early in the evening,
We had gathered for the feast,
Waiting for our host to propose a toast,
But instead He started to preach.
Huddled round the table ,
Hanging on His every word,
He said His time was near
Through His tears,
But we couldn?t believe what we had heard.
C:
Thirteen men at the table,
But He spoke to all our hearts,
Telling us what had to be
To set the world free from it?s misery.
Thirteen men , and one who would betray,
To fulfill what would happen the next day.
He passed round the bread and wine,
We didn?t know what to say,
Do this for me, but we couldn?t see,
And then He went off to pray.
?Your will not mine be done,?
His pulse rushing like a flood.
He prayed so fervently ,
That it?s hard to believe
He actually sweat drops of blood.
C:
Thirteen men at the table,
But He spoke to all our hearts,
Telling us what had to be
To set the world free from it?s misery.
Thirteen men , and one who would betray,
To fulfill what would happen the next day.
They came for Him in the morning,
One tried to resist,
He stayed true to His call and the fate of us all
Was sealed by a small kiss.
Tried and condemned,
To His fate He was led,
To cover our shame, but He came back again
When He rose from the dead.
C:
Thirteen men at the table,
But He spoke to all our hearts,
Telling us what had to be
To set the world free from it?s misery.
Thirteen men , and one who would betray,
To fulfill what would happen the next day.
Thirteen men at the table,
But He spoke to all our hearts,
Telling us what He had to do,
To save the likes of me and you,
Thirteen men, and one who would obey,
To fulfill what would happen the next day.
We all dipped our bread that day,
I don?t care what you say,
Come what may,
Thank God the price is paid,
And we need not be afraid.
We all dipped our bread that day,
I don?t care what you say,
Come what may,
Thank God the price is paid,
And we need not be afraid.
Matthew 26:23
The price is paid,
And we need not be afraid.
