Intro: Riff #1 x2

Riff #1 x2
Why did it have to be a friend who chose to betray the Lord?
And why did he use a kiss to show them? That's not what a kiss is for.
Riff #2
Only a friend can betray a friend, a stranger has nothing to gain.
Riff #1
And only a friend comes close enough to ever cause so much pain.

Riff #1
Riff #1 x2
And why did there have to be a thorny crown placed upon His head?
It should have a royal one made of jewels and gold instead.
Riff #2
It had to be a crown of thorns because in this life that we live
Riff #1
For all who would seek to love, a thorn is all the world has to give.

Riff #1
Riff #1 x2
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.
Riff #2
It was a cross, for on a cross a thief was supposed to pay,
Riff #1
And Jesus had come into this world to steal every heart away.
Riff #3
Yes, Jesus had come into the world to steal every heart away.
