Why did it have to be a friend
  Who chose to betray the Lord
  Why did he use a kiss to show them
  Thats 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 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 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 bare
  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
