The Divine Masquerade

The Romans came to take him, soldiers armed
In that place of solace, there should be no harm
Kiss upon his cheek, betrayed identity and fame
Jesus knew that this world must know his name
Judas knew too, this was his moment and task
To fulfill his own destiny, he must finally act
God doesn't seek those who will reject the fate
They are actors playing a role, as if in a play
Jesus knew well, his day was arriving soon
And the former world, would meet its doom
By betraying a king with a kiss, Judas was doing
What was asked, but to those watching, undoing
The role that one, in the master's plan can be
Just another pathway on the way to redeemed
Don't question your task, don't chafe don't ask
Do what is called, you can then drop your mask
The world is a masquerade, we have no choice
To be patient and know, we must wait
Through obedience, we hear God's voice
And we'll see the final act
Of the divine play
