Fred Yarbough, one of the Associate Ministers and Elders of the Cedar Hill church of Christ shared a lesson entitled "Why" last Sunday (July 4th, 2010). He began his lesson by reading the lyrics of Michael Card's song entitled Why. The lyrics was thought-provoking and I thought it would be nice to share with you the lyrics and even a video of the song that I've found on YouTube. Enjoy!
Why By Michael Card
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 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

Hi Steven,
It was years before I finally came to the understanding of what God did for us. Thank you Lord for Your grace and mercy. We must meditate on our Savior's death everyday. Every word to this song was moving and thought-provoking.
Keep posting, and thanks for sharing. God bless you much.
