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
