Why? Lyrics

Why did it have to be a friend Who chose to betray the Lord 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
And why did there have to be thorny Crown pressed upon His head It should have been the royal one Made of jewels and gold instead
It had to be a crown of thorns Because in this life that we live For all who seek to love A thorn is all the world has to give
And why did it have to be A heavy cross He was made to bare 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
