Michael Card  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
