Crown of Life
Not a royal diadem pressed upon his precious head
just a mockery of men upon his brow
holy blood flowed down his face from the thorns of cruel disgrace
his true majesty replaced with such a crown
A crown of life it was to me
through his scars I am redeemed
love found a way on calvary he paid the price
it was my cross he made it his and sacrificed so I could live
mercy gave me heavens gift, a crown of life
Not at all what I had earned for the penalty deserved
when his grace made me secure Gods favor found.
Now royal blood flows down my veins all his riches mine to claim. My unworthiness exchanged for such a crown.
See from head his hands his feet
sorrow and love flowed mingled down
did ere such love and sorrow meet
or thorns compose so rich a crown
