Crown of Thorns (Contemporary Christian)

Verse 1

Under the weight of a borrowed crown

You walked where the jeering voices rang

Dust on Your knees, no throne, no shield

Mercy concealed in the wounds You bore

Pre-Chorus

The earth held still as the hammer fell

Love stayed near when the heavens trembled

Chorus

Crown of thorns, mercy's sign

Shame laid bare, yet love divine

By Your blood, the lost come home

Through the grave, we are not alone

Verse 2

Purple cloth on a beaten back

A reed in the hands of a mocking king

You answered hate with a silent gaze

And carried our fear into dying light

Pre-Chorus

The curtain tore, the darkness broke

Hope was hidden beneath the stone

Chorus

Crown of thorns, mercy's sign

Shame laid bare, yet love divine

By Your blood, the lost come home

Through the grave, we are not alone

Bridge

What hands had wounded, grace restored

What sin had buried, rose adored

The cross became the open door

And death could hold You nevermore

Final Chorus

Crown of thorns, mercy's sign

Risen King, Your love is mine

By Your blood, the lost come home

In Your light, we are made whole

Outro

You wore my sorrow, bore my blame

Now every heart can speak Your name
