Crowning the King
The crown of thorns He wears
and the scars He bears
Reminds us of the suffering He embraced
So that one day we will know Him face to face
His pain and shame bring about life and victory
for us for all eternity
Although His crown may change with His earthly rein
His scars will still remain.
They speak forth volumes to all who see
Oh beautiful mystery
How you transform trials to trophies of your amazing grace
When we turn and seek your face
To behold Thee the King of Glory
This is my plea
For this new year
To be free of fear
And full of love
As I set my gaze above
To the One on the throne
And be in awe of the fact that I am never alone
He designed me, sees me, knows me, walks with me and His Spirit lives in my heart
So that with everything within me I can sing my God, my God, how Great Thou art
