Thats Not What a Kiss Is For

Artist: Michael Card Song Title: Why 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 One of my favorite songs by Michael Card....here is the youtube link if you would like to hear it...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFGXW3kJ3as

It certainly is a painful reality, at times, when we don't see this sort of thing coming. Kudos to you for posting this.

Yes....every single line of this song is full of meaning...the tune is haunting....I'd give it a listen....Notice I chose my own title for the piece...betrayal should never be what a kiss is for!
