The Judas Kiss
It was the Judas kiss
Which betrayed our Lord that night;
Judas kissed him in the darkness
He did not walk in light.
Now, I've received a Judas kiss
From a pastor? I got the shove;
Because the Judas kiss replaced -
The Holy kiss of love.
(I pray God lay it not to his charge)
1 Corinthians 16: 20
