Store up treasures in Heaven
while here on earth below.
For wherein lies our treasure,
there is our heart also.
Let us not be blinded
by the world, and led astray
like Judas, the disciple,
who for silver did betray.
By choosing silver over Christ,
poor Judas, foolishly,
betrayed his Lord, with a kiss
and sealed his destiny.
Many, as did Judas,
learn that greed comes with a price,
when one’s great love of money
exceeds their love for Christ.
Such greed will but destroy
the soul and cause lament.
like the thirty silver pieces
that Judas never spent.
