Why
Nicole Nordeman We rode into town the other dayJust me and my daddyHe said I'd finally reached that ageAnd I could ride next to him on a horseThat of course was not quite as wideWe heard a crowd of people shoutingAnd so we stopped to find out whyAnd there was that man that my dad said he lovedBut today there was fear in his eyesSo I said daddy why are they screamingWhy 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 then he showsDaddy please can't you do something?He looks as though he's gonna cryYou said he was stronger then all of those guysDaddy please tell me why?Why does everyone want him to die?Later that day the sky grew cloudyAnd daddy said I should go insideSomehow he knew things would get stormyBoy was he rightBut I could not keep from wonderingIf there was something he had to hideSo after he left I had to find outI was not afraid of getting lostSo I followed the crowdsTo a hill where I knew men had been killedAnd I heard a voice come from the crossAnd it said father why are they screaming?Why are the faces of some of them beaming?Why are they casting their lots for my clothes?This crown of thorns hurts me more then it showsFather please can't you do something?I know that you must hear my cry'sI thought I could handle a cross of this sizeFather remind me why?Why does everyone want me to die?When will I understand why?My precious sonI hear them screamingI'm watching the face of the enemy beamingBut soon I will clothe you in robes of my ownJesus this hurts me much more then you knowBut this dark hourI must do nothingThough I've heard your unbearable criesThe power in your bloodDestroys all of the liesSoon you'll see past their unmerciful liesLook there below See the childTrembling by her father's sideNow I can tell you whyShe is why you must dieas i listen to this song,tears and everything came along.overwhelmed by His grace and mercy.
