a crown of thorns, a mockery

of You, my God, of You, my King

You took my place, a place so bleak and cold
a crown of thorns, a symbol of

a desperate king, Your desperate love

Your kindness, Lord, resounds inside of me



chorus:

there will never be a crown so cruel

You wore it like a king, a king of fools

You will always be the only King of kings



a crown of thorns, a crown of hate,

for all You had, for all You gave

the king of all who would rather serve than reign



there will never be a crown so cruel

You wore it like a king, a king of fools

You will always be the only king of kings



crowned with many crowns

crowned with many crowns

crowned with many crowns

crowned with many crowns



a crown of thorns, a crown of death

forsaken by both God and man

but You prevailed to live and reign again



(and i know that) there will never be a crown so cruel

You wore it like a king, a king of fools

You will always be the only king of kings

the only king of kings

the only king of kings
