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 deed, 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 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 you are, crowned with many crowns crowned with many crowns you are, 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
