Biblical Blues


Jesus Christ!  Are you my wife?
Or are you a single woman?
Surely you’re meant to be at my side,
Not off in search of another?


We used to hold each others hands, with such pride,
Now I wonder:  Do you even like me?
Are you Peter, or are you Judas the liar?
Would you deny my existence for your own benefit?


Or would you trade me in for 5 silver coins?
A new handbag, or a box of jewels.
Or would you say, with joy in your words,
I’m sorry but I’m married, so goodbye Sir.


Do you remember the wine I gave you, for our first anniversary?
I sacrificed my own simple pleasures, so I could save enough money.
And buy you the finest things I could afford,
All I could give you; still didn’t seem enough.


So here I hang on my cross awaiting my death,
I’d tell you I still love you, but I’d be wasting my breath.
My sacrifice, my ******* life!
Given up for you, the faithless type.


So goodbye now, I’m off to see God;
My father, my creator, my judge, my condemner.
The one to blame, for all I’ve had and lost,
The one who has punished me forever and ever.
