Episode Synopsis
Thorns for Crown
Verse 1:
You knew me, Lord, before my birth; You gave me life and mapped my path,
A great plan I’ve only realised.
And when I fell You bore the cross, You gave Your life to win my soul,
A great design I must realise.
Pre-Chorus:
You bore my shame and placed it upon the cross,
and bled for me to lift me, Lord, from the pit.
You spoke my name while being mocked upon the cross,
You bled for me to save me, Lord, from the blaze.
Chorus:
I triumph through Jesus, lover of my soul;
Who wore the thorns to hand me a crown.
O Holy Father, I give You my all;
You wore the thorns so I could be crowned.
Verse 2:
I walked the earth and found none close to You, Lord,
Even my reflection never shone like You, Lord.
Pour Your mercy on us, O Gentle Lord;
Straighten our twisted ways to walk like Yours, Lord. *Pre-Chorus + Chorus*
Bridge:
Make me Your soldier, O Dear Lord, I yield to You with both hands raised.
Make me Your servant, O Dear Lord, I yield to You, cleanse my heart, Lord.
I’ll tell the whole wide world how You saved me from my judgement.
I’ll share with the whole wide world the glad tidings, O Redeemer. *Chorus till fade*
