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 a 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 bear
And why did they nail His feet and hands
His love would have held Him there
It was a cross, for upon a cross
A thief was supposed to pay
And Jesus had come into this world
To steal every heart away
Jesus had come into this world
To steal every heart away
