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
