Crown Of Thorns

We crown Him with the crown of thorns
 We crown Him with the crown of thorns
 This is the end of a life that's been poured out for all mankind (for all mankind)
 In suffering, manifest glory has come at the fullness of time
 King of Kings, beaten and broken down
 Why would He live like a servant?
 King of Kings, descending lower now
 Why should He die like a slave?
 The proud will be humbled, the meek will inherit the earth
 The last will be first to inherit the earth
 I know down is the way up, so Master show me how to serve
 The last will be first to inherit the earth
 
 The last will be first to inherit the earth
 It should have been me
 With the nails through my hands and feet
 Facing the wrath of God
 It should have been me
 Left to pay for my sin, forsaken
 But in the blood, I stand here
 It should have been me
 Born to die
 He bore the fire of God's holy wrath on his shoulders
 Born to die
 I watched Him pour out his life as a ransom for all
 And as He carried His cross on His back
 Beaten and bloody, yeah I saw myself there too
 Cause I've been broken by a world that hates me
 But I'm not alone anymore (alone no more)
 No one can take His life; He laid it down for me
 That twisted wreath of thorns, yeah He took that crown for me
 Then after three days, out of the ground for me
 He overcame it all
 Now I live to serve Him
 With stripes on His back
 Betrayed by the ones that He'd loved so perfectly
 We spit in His face and we crowned Him
