Why – Nichole Nordeman

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 wild.

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 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 a cross of this size.
Father, remind me why.
Why does everyone want me to die?
Oh, 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 be love, see the child
trembling by her father's side.
Now I can tell you why...
she is why you must die.

what is the real meaning of easter, tmw will be the day where you really have to set aside time and think... it's not just about the celebration and getting ppl crossed the line, but it's for our own reminder also. how significant it is that Jesus died in cross for y o u and m e...

i always love saturdays, but today's a very special day indeed, first ss was overwhelming, people just kept flowing in and in till a point that they all must sat at the staircase, the drama was hilarious, i think i distracted some ppl by laughing too loud oops... the dance was erm very astro boy or should i say ultraman haha but it was great, susi you really amazed me, you can be the para para queen hee hee...... had a great praise time.... but the greatest part was when many hands were lifted up to receive our king to their lives! it was really amazing, was very touched with all their responses. today is the day indeed... i really pray that they will discover the joy of knowing and serving God more as time goes... amen! indeed i found there's no greater joy than serving God, even though now i'm feeling exhausted but it's purposefully tired =) i think we were all relieved man when the 2nd ss ended haha.... next big project >> xmas 04 wah..... jia you!

feeling >> filled with joy.... today's a great day!

PS. erm i dun think u're reading this but yup happy bday davin.. couldn't affirm you just now cos really got nothing to say... well i think you're a good brother? hahaha... will know more as time goes....
