Why Michael Card
Why did it have [Am]to be a [Em7]friend [Am]who chose to bet[Em7]ray th[C]e Lord[Em7] [Am]
[Am]Why did [Em7]he use a[Am] kiss to show th[Em7]em? Th[C]at's not w[Em7]hat a ki[Am]ss is for
[C]Only a friend can betr[G]ay a friend, a str[Am]anger has nothing to g[E]ain
[Am]And only[Em7] a frien[Am]d comes [Em7]close enough to [C]ever cause[Em7] so much [Am]pain
[Am]And why [Em7]did ther[Am]e have to be tho[Em7]rny, c[C]rown press[Em7]ed upon [Am]His head
[Am]It shoul[Em7]d have b[Am]een the royal on[Em7]e, mad[C]e of jewel[Em7]s and go[Am]ld instead
[C]It had to be a crown o[G]f thorns, because [Am]in this life that we l[E]ive
[Am]For all [Em7]who seek[Am] to love, a thor[Em7]n is a[C]ll the wor[Em7]ld has t[Am]o give
[Am]And why [Em7]did it h[Am]ave to be a hea[Em7]vy, cr[C]oss He was[Em7] made to[Am] bare
[Am]And why did they[Em7] nail His f[Am]eet and hands[Em7], when His lov[C]e would have held[Em7] Him there[Am]
[C]It was a cross for on [G]a cross, a t[Am]hief was supposed to[E] pay
[Am]And Jesu[Em7]s had co[Am]me into the worl[Em7]d, to [C]steal ever[Em7]y heart [Am]away
[Am]Yes, Jes[Em7]us had c[Am]ome into the wor[Em7]ld to [C]steal ever[Em7]y heart [Am]away
