The Crown Was Mine (Holy Week/Good Friday version)

"The Crown Was Mine" (Holy Week/Good Friday Version) is a powerful hymn of reflection and sorrow, inviting the listener to contemplate the immense sacrifice of Christ during His Passion. With raw and heartfelt lyrics, it focuses on the crown of thorns placed upon Jesus' head—a symbol of both His suffering and His love for humanity. The hymn moves from an acknowledgment of the pain and shame borne by Christ to a deeply personal recognition of the cost of redemption. The line "The crown You wore, the cost I know" captures the weight of Christ's sacrifice and the profound impact it has on the believer's heart. Perfect for Good Friday services or Holy Week reflections, this hymn draws the worshiper into a space of solemn reverence, where the suffering and love of Christ are intimately realized.
