Lyrics - King's Ransom by Petra

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
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
