It is I who should, repenting in torture unrelenting,
Endure the pains of Hell.
The shackles and the scourges
Thou bore from sin to purge us,
Were by us all deserved full well
THOUGHT
Poor Judas
He has been despised and loathed for two thousand years and suddenly the papers were full of his apparent rehabilitation by the Church. I have always felt sorry for Judas and as we know he regretted his actions, tried to make amends however he despaired in the end, to the point of taking his own life. Let us not be too hard on Judas, I think he symbolises the absolute weakness and vulnerability of our imperfect human nature.

Give me back my Jesus - Gebt mir meinen Jesum wieder
Give me back my Jesus!
See, the money, the wages of murder,
the lost son throws at you,
down at your feet.
Give me back my Jesus!
