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

Sacrifice, what is that? To some it's those guys across the way who are putting their lives on the line to not have another 911 or fight terrorism. To another it is not buying that donut or getting that burger.
This is sacrifice, to lay ones life down for another not cause they deserve it but because they are worth it. No one who sacrifices should expect that the one sacrificed for will ever appreciate it or be in gratitude. When i say, hey I love you, it is not cause you are the best thing since sliced bread, but because to me, you are worth all i have. to sacrifice as God says is to do that to everyone not for your own gratification but for His. Not because you get something but because something is given.
Sacrifice was this. .... it had to be done.
May God have mercy and shed many blessings on our families, on her, and her familly. may bridges burned be rebuilt, may sacrifices made be not forgotten. forgive us our pride, forgive our foolishness..... forgive and help us sacrifice in love.
