Crwon and Thorns Lyrics

Crown of Thorns

(A Song of Redemption)

They led Him down the dusty road

A heavy burden He'd been bestowed

The crowd stood mocking the sky grew gray

The Lamb of God had come to pay

A whip of hatred tore His skin

Each strike a weight of every sin

Yet love shone bright through all the pain

For He was here to break our chains

Chorus

Crown of thorns upon His head

For every tear we've ever shed

Nails of mercy in His hands

To save the broken every man

Oh what love oh what grace

That He would take our sinful place

The wooden cross so rough so tall

Upon His shoulders bore it all

The soldiers laughed their hearts were cold

But this was love the prophets told

His hands were pierced His side was torn

For us He wore that crown of scorn

Each drop of blood redemption's flow

He gave it all to make us whole

Chorus

Crown of thorns upon His head

For every tear we've ever shed

Nails of mercy in His hands

To save the broken every man

Oh what love oh what grace

That He would take our sinful place

The earth it trembled the veil was torn

The price of freedom now reborn

Forgive them Father He cried aloud

The Savior's love broke through the crowd

Chorus

Crown of thorns upon His head

For every tear we've ever shed

Nails of mercy in His hands

To save the broken every man

Oh what love oh what grace

That He would take our sinful place

Outro

Three days later the stone was rolled

The grave defeated as foretold

He rose in power the debt erased

Eternal life through Jesus' name

Oh what love oh what grace

Forever we will see His face
