Why (Joy In The Journey Album Version)

Why (Joy In The Journey Album Version) - 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
