Crown of Thorns Lyrics

We crown Him with a crown of thorns
We crown 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 meek will inherit the earth
The less will be first to inherit the earth
I know down is the way up so master show me how to serve
The less will be first to inherit the earth
The less will be first to inherit the earth
It should have been me
With 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
Before the fire of God's holy wrath on his shoulders
Born to die
I watched Him pour out his life as he wakes up for us
Man actually carried His cross on his back
Beaten and bloody and I saw myself there too
Cause I've been broken by a world that hates me
But I'm not alone anymore (alone no more)
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 pound up for ground for me
He overcame it all
Now I live to serve Him
With stripes on his back
Betrayed by the ones he loves so perfectly
We spit in his face and we crowned Him
We crown Him with a crown of thorns
We crown Him with a crown of thorns
We crown Him with a crown of thorns
We crown Him with a crown of thorns
