Hartman Based on |
|
Matthew 20:28 |
|
It's such a paradox - it's such a mystery |
|
Why a King would leave |
|
His throne to save humanity |
|
They could not have known when they mocked |
|
Him in disgrace |
|
They could not have known when they spit upon |
|
His face (Chorus) |
|
The Rose of |
|
Sharon wore a crown of thorns that day |
|
The carpenter had a nail right through |
|
His hand The |
|
Master of the earth became a servant of no worth |
|
And paid a |
|
King's ransom for my soul |
|
He paid a |
|
King's ransom for my soul |
|
Creator of the earth - |
|
Name above all names |
|
Some just stood in unbelief when listening to |
|
His claims |
|
They could not have known when they hit |
|
Him with their fists |
|
They could not have known when they nailed his feet and wrists |
|
The ransom that |
|
He paid was the sacrifice he made |
|
The life of a |
|
King in place of me |
|
The shame that |
|
He bore for the rich and for the poor |
|
Changed His crown of thorns into glory |
