Why Lyrics - Singles - Nordeman Nichole

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 

Daddy, 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"
