Why - Michael Card
Why did it have to be a friend
Who chose to betray the Lord
And why did he use a kiss
To show them
That's not what a kiss is for
Only a friend can betray a friend
A stranger has nothing to gain
And only a friend comes close enough
To ever cause so much pain
Why did there have to be a thorny
Crown place upon his head
It should have been a royal one
Made of jewels and gold instead
It had to be a crown of thorns
Because in this life that we live
From whole would seek
To love a thorn
Is all the world has to give
Why did there have to
Be a heavy cross
He was made to bear
And why did they nail
His feet and hands;
When His love would
Have him there
It was a cross for on a cross
A thief was supposed to pay
And Jesus had come into
The world to steal every heart away
Yes Jesus had come into
The world to steal every heart away
