Michael Card - Why? lyrics

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 it have to be a thorny crown place upon his head? It should have been a royal one, made of j**els and gold instead. It had to be a crown of thorns, because in this world that we live, all that would seek to love a thorn is all the world has to give. Why did it have to be a heavy cross he was made to bear? and why did they nail His feet and hands; His love would have held 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.
