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

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

Crowned with many crowns
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
