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 bythe 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 will 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 o you'll 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
No, don't let it be you
Oh no
Don't let it be you
