Nichole Nordeman - Why?

Nichole Nordeman's Music Video, she sings "Why" about Jesus dying for our sins.. This is also known as an Easter Song..

Lyrics:

We rode into town the other day
Just me and my Daddy
He said I'd finally reached that age
And I could ride next to him on a horse
That of course was not quite as wide

We heard a crowd of people shouting
And so we stopped to find out why
And there was that man
That my dad said he loved
But today there was fear in his eyes

So I said "Daddy, why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why is He dressed in that bright purple robe?
I'll bet that crown hurts Him more than He shows
Daddy, please can't you do something?
He looks as though He's gonna cry
you said he was stronger than all of those guys
addy, please tell me why
Why does everyone want him to die?"

Later that day the sky grew cloudy
And Daddy said I should go inside
Somehow he knew things would get stormy
Boy was he right
But I could not keep from wondering
If there was something he had to hide

So after he left I had to find out
I was not afraid of getting lost
So I followed the crowds
To a hill where I knew men had been killed
And I heard a voice come from the cross

And it said, "Father, why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why are they casting their lots for My robe?
This crown of thorns hurts Me more than it shows
Father, please can't You do something?
I know that You must hear My cry
I thought I could handle the cross of this size
Father, remind Me why
Why does everyone want Me to die?
When will I understand why?"

"My precious Son, I hear them screaming
I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming
But soon I will clothe You in robes of My own
Jesus, this hurts Me much more than You know
But this dark hour I must do nothing
Though I've heard Your unbearable cry
The power in Your blood destroys all of the lies
Soon You'll see past their unmerciful eyes
Look there below, see the child
Trembling by her father's side
Now I can tell You why
She is why You must die"

I will echo Treemeadow's question. Why are we, the Body of Christ, who are called to love, so hateful, both to those we consider to be outside of the Body, and within our own ranks? I don't understand it, and I am just as guilty of it. I ask God and those I have hurt through hate for forgiveness.

A great song, but looking at the comments it would seem a typical conversation on one of these videos. None of you seem to understand Treemeadow at all

@Treemeadow I am a Christian and though I do believe homosexuality is a sin, I also believe that it's not the only sin. I have argued with my mom, lied, coveted, had unkind and impure thoughts, not always placed the Lord first, etc. I don't want you to die. Jesus died for you as much as He died for me. We should all live holy lives according to the Bible, and so I don't excuse sin, but you and I both are sinners. Jesus loves you and so do I. I pray the unsaved get saved and the saved are kind.

Its a very nice song. I am a Christian from the middle east. But I was wondering why put images of arabs or Palestinians when the word enemies is said and also when they are crying ti crucify Jesus. It is offensive. Did the person who loaded this video do it intentionally. If yes. Many will be offended. Thank you.

Very touching... I am one of the reasons he had to die

[MrMichaelthabet]
