Judas Feet is a young band.  Their website is www.judasfeet.com.   I love this old hymn of devotion to God.  It's especially nice when young people get ahold of it.
The poem:
James Weldon Johnson, ed. (18711938).  The Book of American Negro Poetry.  1922.
 
The Feet of Judas
 
George Marion McClellan
 
 
CHRIST washed the feet of Judas!
The dark and evil passions of his soul,
His secret plot, and sordidness complete,
His hate, his purposing, Christ knew the whole,
And still in love he stooped and washed his feet.        5
 
Christ washed the feet of Judas!
Yet all his lurking sin was bare to him,
His bargain with the priest, and more than this,
In Olivet, beneath the moonlight dim,
Aforehand knew and felt his treacherous kiss.        10
 
Christ washed the feet of Judas!
And so ineffable his love twas meet,
That pity fill his great forgiving heart,
And tenderly to wash the traitors feet,
Who in his Lord had basely sold his part.        15
 
Christ washed the feet of Judas!
And thus a girded servant, self-abased,
Taught that no wrong this side the gate of heaven
Was ever too great to wholly be effaced,
And though unasked, in spirit be forgiven.        20
 
And so if we have ever felt the wrong
Of Trampled rights, of caste, it matters not,
What eer the soul has felt or suffered long,
Oh, heart! this one thing should not be forgot:
Christ washed the feet of Judas.        25
