08. Michael Card - Why

08. WHY
Scribbling in the Sand: The Best of Michael Card (2002)


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 thorny
Crown pressed upon His head
It should have been the royal one
Made of jewels and gold instead
It had to be a crown of thorns
Because in this life that 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

Awesome! I saw Sarah and Michael on this tour...unfortunately Michael was sick:(

I think Sarah's voice was made for Michael's songs;)

@jer1ndie why? Is it just the music style? Or the soul behind it? What is so attractive about Michael Card music?

[oooSierra]

LOVE THIS! Beautifully played and sung. I remember this oldie but goodie so well, but have not heard it recently, until someone told me about it.
