What Are You Trading Jesus For?
When Pilate offered Christ’s release,
The people told him no –
They traded Jesus for a thief
And let Barabbas go.
When Herod heard that Christ was born,
He sent to have Him slain –
He traded Jesus for a throne
And chose eternal stain.
When Judas saw that Christ wants all,
He plotted to betray –
He traded Jesus for some coins
Which soon he threw away.
Agrippa saw that Christ bears shame,
He told the Spirit no –
He traded Jesus for his pride
And let salvation go.
The lusts and pride of life are strong,
Opposing Christ each day –
What are you trading Jesus for
That soon will pass away?
