Child of Judas

Who knew this child of Judas,
planted in the Potter's field,
would grow like grapes?

Who knew that this child of Jesus
had bitter iniquity
rotting inside?

Child of forgiveness and deceit,
love and betrayal within.
Child of two hearts.

Child of Judas, child of Jesus
torn between two ways of life.
Light and shadow.

Judas' child, born so bitter,
made sweet by the Son's light,
like grapes made good.

Jesus' child, born so alone,
made family by forgiveness
brought home again.
