'Why'

Michael Card

------------

chords: Marek Vit (marek@geocities.com)

(from the 'Brother to Brother' CD that Michael did w/ J.M.Talbot

- it may differ slightly from the original M. Card's version)

Dm C Dm

Why did it have to be a friend

Gm C Dm

Who chose to betray the Lord

Dm C Dm

Why did he use a kiss to show

Gm C Dm

That's not what a kiss is for

F C

Only a friend can betray a friend

Dm A

A stranger has nothing to gain

Dm C Dm

And only a friend comes close enough

Gm C Dm

To ever cause so much pain

Gm F Gm

And why did there have to be thorny

Cm F Gm

Crown pressed upon His head

Gm F Gm

It should have been the royal one

Cm F Gm

Made of jewels and gold instead

F C

It had to be a crown of thorns

Dm A

Because in this life that we live

Dm C Dm

All who would seek to love

Gm C Dm

A thorn is all that this world can give

(use the same chords as in the first verse)

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 upon 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
