My Crown, Messiah's Cross

"The king shall joy in Thy strength, O Lord; and in Thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice! .... For Thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: Thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head" (Psalm 21:1,3).

The crown God gave when I believed
My Savior should have worn.
The crown that saved me He received:
The painful crown of thorn!

A crown for me, a cross for Christ:
How strange is this design!
The Lamb of God was sacrificed,
To make that gold crown mine!
