"Why" by Nicole Nordeman

[The Freak For Christ]

This is a song called 'Why' by Nicole Nordeman... It is my favorite song right now!

"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 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 bet that crown hurts him more than he shows
Daddy please can’t you do something?
He looks as if he’s going to cry
You said he is 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 that 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 a 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 clothes??
I bet that crown hurts him more than he shows
Father please can’t you do something?
I know that you must hear my cry
I thought I could handle a 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 more than you know
But this dark hour I must do nothing.
I’ve heard your unbearable cry
the power in your blood destroys all 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."


Why did Jesus die on the cross for us? Why did he suffer? For a people who would constantly reject him... Constantly hate him... Constantly fail him...
Because, God asked him to.
Jesus didn't have to die on the cross that day... He could have let us all die for our sins... But no, he was perfect and he let himself die a long painful death so that you and I could live blameless in God's sight!
I don't think I would die for many people... And I know I wouldn't die for a bunch of people who hated me...
But Jesus did!
Isn't that cool?

Ask him to be yours today!

God Bless,
Leah

I would shy away from posting lyrics to songs... CCM might come over here and throw a fit, and it's against the law.... But anyhow, yes Why is an awesome song.. despite it's Theological errors... But go figure
