Why

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
