Crown of Thorns (Solemn Contemporary)

[Verse 1] Under the weight of a borrowed crown You walked where the jeering voices rang Dust on Your knees, no throne, no shield Mercy concealed in the wounds You bore [Pre-Chorus] The earth held still as the hammer fell Love stayed near when the heavens trembled [Chorus] Crown of thorns, mercy's sign Shame laid bare, yet love divine By Your blood, the lost come home Through the grave, we are not alone [Verse 2] Purple cloth on a beaten back A reed in the hands of a mocking king You answered hate with a silent gaze And carried our fear into dying light [Pre-Chorus] The curtain tore, the darkness broke Hope was hidden beneath the stone [Chorus] Crown of thorns, mercy's sign Shame laid bare, yet love divine By Your blood, the lost come home Through the grave, we are not alone [Bridge] What hands had wounded, grace restored What sin had buried, rose adored The cross became the open door And death could hold You nevermore [Final Chorus] Crown of thorns, mercy's sign Risen King, Your love is mine By Your blood, the lost come home In Your light, we are made whole [Outro] You wore my sorrow, bore my blame Now every heart can speak Your name
