It came to pass in those days
That Jesus went out into a mountain to pray
Continued all night in prayer to God
And when it was day, He chose his twelve disciples

Peter, Andrew, Philip, James and John
Matthew, Thomas and Simon
Bartholomew and Judas

"One of you will be a traitor
One of you will repay My love with hatred!
One of you will repay good with evil
One of you will be ungrateful
Don't let it be you!"

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus
His mother and sister, Mary Cleophas, Mary Magdalene
John was standing there at the cross
Jesus saw these faithful ones, whose eyes were filled with love

But there will be traitors, there will be unfaithful men
You'll learn to depend on God, when your heart is broken

One of you will be a traitor
One of you will repay My love with hatred!
One of you will repay good with evil
One of you will be ungrateful
Don't let it be you!

Don't let it be, don't let it happen
Traitors, pretenders, accusing and deceiving you
Accusing you with unspeakable words
They say "I love you"
But they are angry with you
They hate you, speaking against you all the time
What is the point
Of loving all these children

One of you will be a traitor
One of you will repay My love with hatred!
One of you will repay good with evil
One of you will be ungrateful,
Don't let it be you!

(Don't let it be you, no don't let it be you)
Grow up my dear friend
Don't expect so much from human beings
Don't be a fool

If you want to be like Jesus, oh you will see
The same things he saw,
Especially the painful things!

One of them will be a traitor,
One of them will repay My love with hatred!
One of them will repay good with evil
One of them will be ungrateful,
Don't let it be you!

One of them will be a traitor,
One of them will repay My love with hatred!
One of them will repay good with evil
One of them will be ungrateful,
Don't let it be you!

Don't let it be you, don't let it be you, oh no
Don't let it be you...
