Why did it have to be a friend who chose to betray the Lord?
and why did he use a kiss to show? -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 placed 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 who 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 upon a cross a thief was supposed to pay
and Jesus had come into this world to steal every heart away
