Table For Thirteen

Congregating in the corner, in the dining room upstairs
Thomas said I doubt if he will show
Then Judas walked in, like he'd lost his best friend
The look on his face said, I just sold me soul
Then drinkin' wine and talkin' was Bart, Pete, and Jim
The whole room fell silent, as he came walkin' in

Gathered there, not an empty chair, at a table for thirteen
The inspiration for the last supper scene
As they broke the bread and drank the wine
He said, remember me
I'll be crucified, He prophesied at a table for thirteen

The conversation got real heavy, He said one here will betray me
The table got so quiet, you could hear each breath
And they sat there like brothers, listenin' to each other
Eleven were heart broken but one was scared to death
Pete said "Is it me Lord", with tears in his eyes
He said "No, but before the rooster crows, you'll deny me three times"


Gathered there, not an empty chair, at a table for thirteen
The inspiration for the last supper scene
As they broke the bread and drank the wine
He said, remember me
I'll be crucified, He prophesied at a table for thirteen

Doubter, denier, betrayer, and some faithful among these
If you were there right now, which one would you be?

Gathered there, not an empty chair, at a table for thirteen
The inspiration for the last supper scene
As they broke the bread and drank the wine
He said, remember me
I'll be crucified, He prophesied at a table for thirteen
