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 forOnly a friend can betray a friend
A stranger has nothing to gain
And only a friend comes close enough
To ever cause so much painAnd why did there have to be thorny
Crown pressed upon His head
It should have been the royal one
Made of jewels and gold insteadIt 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 giveAnd 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 thereIt was a cross for on a cross
A thief was supposed to pay
And Jesus had come into the world
To steal every heart awayYes, Jesus had come into the world
To steal every heart away
