A crown of many thorns
A body bruised and torn
For all Your pain
I bow in shame
And I cannot ignore

It's my hands that placed that crown
My heart that weighed You down
My voice that shouted 'crucify!'

How can I comprehend
That life can come from death
That all the wounds by cruel nails
Can heal my brokenness
It was love so merciful
Your love so beautiful
Pure love that hides me in
Your heart

And I say, thank You
Thank You for the cross
Thank You
Thank You for the cross
Hallelujah
Thank You for the cross
Thank You
Thank You for the cross

Now I stand holy healed forgiven
And I raise my hands towards
The wondrous cross
