It Was My Crown of Thorns

[jordi7194]

Does anybody know who wrote this song??

I had earned it, deserved it, it was rightfully mine
My crown was given to the next one in line
Someone stepped forward and claimed it instead
As though it belonged to Him they placed it on His head

But it was mine, that crown of thorns that I so deserved,
The words of love and forgiveness were the only words heard
It was mine, but Jesus took it and never complained
My freedom was bought through His suffering and shame

I stood in amazement as the scene did unfold
My crown pierced His head and His precious blood flowed
He showed no sign of resentment as He took the blame
Though perfect and without sin He bore my shame

But it was mine, that crown of thorns that I so deserved,
The words of love and forgiveness were the only words heard
It was mine, but Jesus took it and never complained
My freedom was bought through His suffering and shame

It was mine, but Jesus took it and never complained
My freedom was bought through His suffering and shame
