In the suffering sadness
Our Lord broke a loaf of bread
Running off was Judas
Headlong to his death
Oh, had Jesus been mistaken?
Betrayed by one of His crowd
Oh, it surely stoked a scandal
That could stain the whole Gospel
But those He chose wrote it down
Oh oh-oh
He sees His 12 men jumping off
Forsaken, one by one
The one who'd been His best friend
Had said he'd never run
Oh, this promise now seems hollow, though
All His friends stampede
Oh, it surely stoked a scandal
That could stain the whole Gospel
But those He chose wrote it down
Eh-heh
Heyyy Hey-ey!
Ow!
LEAD
We hear of Thomas doubting
Have to say, well, that takes gall
And the all-time sinner
Is now Apostle Paul
Oh, how'd this stuff get in the Bible?
First Corinthians 1
I think God He chose the scandals
Just to shame the world's top know-it-alls
Who put folks down
So they couldn't boast now
No way to boast now
No way to boast now
1 Corinthians 1:27-29
but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God
has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong,
and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things
that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may
boast before God.
