Michael Card

This is Michael song writer, teacher and author. He is leading our study on Matthew. Below is a song he wrote where he asked some hard questions. He put the song aside and the answers to his questions came later in a dream so he finished the song called Why??

Below are the lyrics...

..Why did It have to be a friend who chose to betray the Lord? Why did he use a kiss to show them that's 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 a thorny crown pressed upon His head? It should have been the royal one made of jewel and gold instead! It had to be a crown of thorns for in this life 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!!!
