Matthias Replaces Judas - Showbread
VERSE 1
[E]It is so that my trans[C#m]gressions have born a withered fruit
[A]The sun has scorched the [B]rising plants, alas they have no root
[E]The bleached bones of [C#m]animals bound by leather strips
[A]Dance through the air with [B]laughter as I wield this wicked whip

VERSE 2
As you did warn me carpenter, this world has weakened my heart
So easily I disparage, self-seeking the work of my art
And there you have come to me, at the moment I bathe in my sorrow
So in love with myself, sought after avoiding tomorrow
VERSE 3
Where do you find the love to offer he who betrays you?
And offer to wash my feet as I offer to disobey you
Your beauty does bereave me, and how my words do fail
So faithfully and dutifully I award you with betrayal

VERSE 4
[C#m]The weak and the down t[A]rodden fall on broken legs
[E]As I walk past a [Abm]smile I cast, fervor in my stead
[C#m]But my bones like [A]plastic, do buckle backward now
[E]I lay in this field by [Abm]Judas, anticipate the plow
VERSE 5
[E]I can not be forg[A]iven; my wages will be paid
[C#m]For those more lovely and a[B]dmirable is least among the saved
[E]And where would I fit, [A]Jesus? What place is left for me?
[C#m]The price of atonement is m[B]ore than I've found to offer up as my [E]plea

VERSE 6
[E]Jesus my heart is all I [Abm]have to give to [C#m]you, so weak and so un[Bm]worthy
This simply will not [E]do, no alabaster [Abm]jar, no diamond in the [C#m]rough
For your body that was [Bm]broken, how can this be en[E]ough?
[Abm] [C#m]
Yet in your arms and in y[Bm]our heart forever I have stayed[E]
Your glory illumi[Abm]nates my life, and no darkness will d[C#m]escend
For you have lived f[Bm]orever, and your love will never [E]end
