[F]
[Dm][E][Am]

[Verse 1]
We crown him [Am]with the crown of [F]thorns.[E]
[Am]This is the

[Verse 2]
end of a [Dm]life that's
[Am]been poured out for all man[F]kind.[E]
[Am]In suffering,
manifest [Dm]glory [E]has come [Am]at the fullness [F]of time.
[E]King of [Am]kings, beaten and bro[Dm]ken dow[E]n,
[Am]Why would He l[F]ive like a serva[E]nt?
King [Am]of kings, descending [Dm]lower now.
[E]Why [Am]should He die like[F] a slave?

[Verse 3]
The proud [F]will be humbled,
[Dm]the meek will inherit the eart[Am]h.
The last will be first do inherit the earth.
[F]I know down is the way up,
[Dm]so master, show me how t[Am]o serve.
[F]The last wil[Dm]l be first do
inherit the [E]earth.[Am][F]
[Am]It should

[Verse 4]
have been me
With the nails through my
hand and feet,
Facing the wrath of God.
It should have been me,
Left to pay for my sin, for[F]saken.
[Am]But in the blood, I stand here.

[Verse 5]
[Am]Born to die,
He bore the fire of God's holy
wrath on his [Dm]shoulders.
[Am]Born to die,
I watched him pour out his
life as a ransom for [Dm]all.
[F]And as he carried his cross

[Verse 6]
on his back[G], b[Am]eaten and bloody, I saw myself t[E]here[Am],
[F]too; because I've been broken by a world that hates [G]me.
[Am]But I'm not alone [E]anymore.
[F]No one could take his life
- he laid it [G]down for [Am]me.
That twisted wreath of thorns, he took that [C]crown for [F]me; then after three days,
out of the [G]ground for [Am]me, he overcame it a[E]ll!
[F]Now I live to ser[E]ve him.
[Am]

[Verse 7]
With stripes on his back, betrayed by the ones that he'd loved so perfectly,
we spit in his face and we crowned him...
[Am][Am]

[Verse 8]
We crown [Am]him[Am][Am][Am]
[Am]with the crown of thor[Am]ns
