"He gave me water, and the heart to live...."

And why did he use a kiss to show? 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 a 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 would seek to love, a thorn is all that this world can 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 upon a cross a thief was supposed to pay And Jesus had come into this world to steal every heart away Jesus had come into this world to steal every heart away
