The Crown of Thorns
King of Jews they would mock
Making a crown of thorns
To place around His head
That He might look foolish
To make an example out of Him
For their king of this world
Had a crown of wealth
If only did they know the thorns
Would symbolize what kept them in death
In bondage of sinful nature
They can not grow on their own
For these thorns held them from
Reaching the light yet to come
That Jesus came to free them from
Through love that we might
Come to know a true love
In His death we have been given a way
To seek the light that burns out the thorns
So one might rise above the darkness
To trade in there crown of thorns
And receive a crown of life
Which places the seal of approval
That you belong to the God of the living
That He might reign within
To give knowledge and wisdom in His word
That shines light on the darkness
To see Jesus is the King of Kings
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
James 1:12 KJV
