Lyrics:

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

And why did it have to be a thorny
Crown pressed upon His head?
It should have been the 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 would seek to love
A thorn is all that this world can 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
