Intro: G, Cadd9
Verse 1:
G Cadd9
We're both like Simon we still live in a state of denial
G Cadd9
Although we'd both like to go to Heaven, We feel surprised about the trial
G Cadd9
But the suff'ring Christ did accomplished somethin'
G Cadd9
And the worst all turned out right
D C
Go and find out in Hebrews chapter 5 verses 7 through 9
You see
CHORUS
G Cadd9
Every crown has its thorns
G Cadd9
Just like every life has its cross
G D C G
Just like every choirboy sings some sad, sad songs
C
Every crown has its thorns ... it does
[Bridge and solo - I just play G-Cadd9-G-Cadd9]
Verse 2:
G Cadd9
A Christian needs to take his cross, take it up and hit the road
G Cadd9
Yeah, 'cause Jesus said lots of times that we should do it and He should know
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
But I wonder – as He walked, If He ever felt like quittin'
D C
Yet I know we wouldn't be here right now if Christ
Took a different road than Calvary
[Chorus]
Em D C G
Though I'm in a trial now, Christ can still feel all my pain.
Em D C
Like the nails that cut through and bruised Him, Cause the scars – Christ's
G
scars remain
G-Cadd9
Verse 3:
G Cadd9
I know He could have saved His life that night if Christ chose to run away
G Cadd9
Instead of takin' off – He chose To take the narrow way.
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
And now I'm Heaven bound and born anew, And man I never had that much to lose
D C
I'm here to bear my cross in life, And to see Him on the other side – because
[Chorus]
G
