A Crown of Thorns
By Pearlie Duncan Walker ©
There was upon this earth a Savior who came to cleanse and heal.
He wore a crown of thorns upon His head, our souls to ever seal.
He gave up the crown of Glory that was rightfully His that day
That He came to earth to give unto all men, a glorious stay.
He put aside His own sweet crown, his signet ring that day,
That maybe all would come and walk in His dear, righteous way.
He loved us with a love so pure that on His head He wore a crown of thorns
That His love would cleanse the world and man could be reborn.
Mighty is the name of this Savior, Jesus, He redeemed the day
For all who would accept Him and walk along His righteous way.
They hung Him upon an old rugged Cross, a thief on either side,
But the day He comes back again, He'll take us to be His bride.
If we give our Hearts to Him who bore our shame on Calvary's Cross
That though we've sinned o'er and o'er, we'll suffer no loss.
But only if we claim Him as Savior and are not filled with shame,
Then that fateful day in Glory, He'll proudly, proclaim our name.
This is the love of one so dear that He suffered horrible pain
So when this life on earth is over, through Him we'll be joined again.
By His tender mercies and pain, of a crown of thorns upon His head
He will raise us up to Glory, as was He after they pronounced Him dead.
