He bore our cross across His shoulders tasted our lash and suffered our stripes
What's more He wore our crown of thorns so we could wear His crown of life

If Jesus had never been lifted on the cross satan would rule our souls today
We'd be blinded confused ever groping in the dark if Jesus had never lit the way

He bore our cross across His shoulders tasted our lash and suffered our stripes
What's more He wore our crown of thorns so we could wear His crown of life

If Jesus had never shed His saving blood satan would have no need to run
he'd boldly rule everywhere everyone were it not for the Father's only Son

He bore our cross across His shoulders tasted our lash and suffered our stripes
What's more He wore our crown of thorns so we could wear His crown of life

What's more He wore our crown of thorns so we could wear His crown of life
