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 it 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 world that we live All that would seek to love a thorn is all the world has to give
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 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
