We crowned Him with a crown of thorns We crowned Him with a crown of thorns This is the end of our life That's been burdened for all that comes (for all that comes) The suffering manifest glory has come with the fullness of God King of Kings Beaten and broken down Why would He live like a servant? King of Kings They said there's no way down Why should He die like a slave? The throne will be above, the meekÿ will inherit the earth The last will be first to inherit the earth I know down is the way up, so Master show me how to serve The last will be first to inherit the earth The last will be first to inherit the earth It should have been me Withÿ the nails through my hands and feet Facing the wrath of God It should have been me Left to pay for my sin forsaken But in the blood I stand It should have been me Born to die He bore the fire of God's holy wrath on His shoulders Born to die I watched Him pour out His life as a ransom for all And as He carried His cross on His back, Beaten and bloody, yeah I saw myself there too. Cause I've been broken by a world that hates me, But I'm not alone anymore. No one can take His life, He laid it down for me. That twisted wreath of thorns, yeah He took that crown for me. Then after three days out of the ground for me, He overcame it all. Now I live to serve Him. With stripes on His back betrayed by the ones He loved so perfectly. We spit in His face and we crowned Him… We crowned Him with a crown of thorns We crowned Him with a crown of thorns We crowned Him with a crown of thorns We crowned Him with a crown of thorns
