Newsflash Singers - The Ransom Lyrics

30 pieces of silver
Was the price that was paid
Paid for my Saviour
Whom Judas betrayed
But a much better ransom
By Jesus was made
When He traded His life
Through His sacrifice
So death could be stayed

They came to the garden
And took Jesus away
For Judas with a kiss
His Lord he would betray
But he was grief stricken
Took his own life that day
For 30 pieces of silver
Couldn't take the guilt away

They sent Him to the cross
Up there on Calvary
They stripped Him of His robe
And nailed Him to that tree
They mocked Him and scorned Him
Hung Him high for all to see
The ransom that He paid there
Was for all humanity

No amount of silver
And no amount of gold
Could ever pay the price
To ransom one man's soul
Only innocent blood
Could ever fulfill that role
The ransom that Jesus paid
Will never be fully told
