"WHY"
(from Michael Card's _Joy in the Journey_
loosely translated by d. baderman)
[Am]Why did it have to [Am/G]be a friend who [Am/F#]chose to b[G]etray the [Am]lord.
And why did he use a [Am/G]kiss to show them,
its [Am/F#]not what a [G]kiss is [Am]for.
[C]Only a friend can [G]betray a friend,
a [F]stranger has nothing to [E]gain.
And [Am]only a friend comes [Am/G]close enough,
to [Am/F#]ever cause [G]so much [Am]pain. [Am/G] [Am/F#] [F] [G]
[Am]Why did there have to [Am/G]be a thorny
[Am/F#]crown pressed [G]upon his [Am]head.
It should have been a [Am/G]royal one,
made of [Am/F#]jewels and [G]gold in[Am]stead.
[C]It had to be a [G]crown of thorns,
be[F]cause in this life that we [E]live,
For [Am]all who would seek to [Am/G]love,
the thorn[Am/F#] [G] [Am] [Am/G] [Am/F#] [F] [G]
