The King of Ransom

A crown of thorns upon His head
the King of Ransom gladly wore
as He gave his life for all who sin
it was His blood that was freely poured

It was for man that the price was paid
yes when the King came down to pay our debt
hanging alone while shamed and scorned
our sin, the King of Ransom could not forget

But oh what love the Redeemer has
Oh yes, He gave his life for you and me
wearing a robe and a crown adorned with Love
Praise God, the King of Ransom has set us free!

As the heavens cry Victory, oh Victory,
Oh how death has lost its sting
by his death He gave us life
Yes, this gives us a reason to sing :

Oh what Love the Redeemer has
oh yes, He gave his life for you and me
wearing a robe and a crown adorned with Love
Praise God, the King of Ransom has set us free!

Yes, He carried the cross upon his back
its true our sin took Jesus to that lonely hill
but by the stripes that He willingly took
His last breath came, and all earth stood still!

Oh Victory, oh Victory!
the grave no longer holds Him there
its by his Power that He Arose
and now our praise will fill the air

Oh how the Crown that was worn that day
became the Kings ransom that took our sin
and by His Love that was shed for all
A Kings ransom came to offer life again!

Yes, Victory, oh Victory,
the Heavens declare His Holy Name
it's from the Ransom paid by our Kng
that our lives will never be the same..
