D
Just a picture of the two sides of life
Many years ago an artist was hired
to paint the Lord's Supper scene.
G
He selected live models
to pose for each one,
D
so he had to have thirteen.
Each man was carefully chosen
A
ac cording to personal traits.
Yes, the artists took great caution
D
in painting this portrait of greats.
G
Eleven were finished in a very short time,
from Andrew to Bartholomew.
Each figure was skillfully
A
brushed into place,
D
but it is all except two.
Then a search began that took some years,
in which dozens were
interviewed each week.
G
When the man for Jesus
was finally found,
D
a man undefiled and meek,
A
he was clean of body, mind, and soul.
His eyes were gentle and clear.
D
The artist rejoiced
and the great painting grew
G
as the figure of Jesus was put there.
That left only Judas, the betrayer, to do
A
and the painting would be complete.
D
But where could a face be found
to resemble the master of deceit,
a face that told of treachery and greed,
G
such loss of character and sin,
as of one who pretended to live uprightly
D
and then betrayed with a
A
kiss his best friend?
Five years passed by,
D
and the aging artist
was viewing his work one day,
G
when a man walked in
from off the streets,
and his face caused the painter to say, Sir,
A
before us here is an unfinished painting.
D
There's a blank space, as you can see.
I have yet to paint
the portrait of Judas.
Would you mind posing for me?"
G
The man consented,
and soon it was done.
D
The masterpiece was finished at last.
Each face was detailed
A
and told its own story
of that sacred event in the past.
D
Then the man from the street
said,
G
Don't you know me?
You've seen me before, you know.
I'm the one who posed for Jesus
A
D
just four or five years ago,
but I took the wrong road of life somehow
and ignored each warning sign.
G
I didn't know it would change me so,
D
but the life you painted is mine.
A
I wonder if there might be a chance for me
D
to regain part of what I've lost, the
The devil has paid me in
counterfeit money,
G
and I'm going to change,
D
whatever the cost.
