The die was then cast

That night in the upper room
Christ time now come
knowing the betrayer’s heart
the one who was chosen

The die was then cast
Christ’s words the quickening
the devil entering into him
going to the street

Christ called the others
a new commandment, to love others
not as the ancient words
but as He loves us

Letting Judas go out
sending him to go quickly
all to show us love
to be the lamb, the sacrifice

Such was the love he gave us
what he called us to share
to love our neighbor richly
as Christ did for us that night
