[Verse]
              E
There was no crown for 

Him of silver or of gold

              B    
There was no diadem 
            E
For Him to hold.

            E
But blood adorned His brow,
               E
And proud its stains He bore,
             B     
And sinners gave to 
                  E
Him the crown He wore.
 
 
[Chorus]
          A                E
A rugged cross became His throne
             B              E
His kingdom was in hearts alone
              A               E
He wrote His love in crimson red
              B               E
And wore the thorns upon His head.
 
 
[Verse]
            E
He did not reign upon a

 Throne of ivory

           B                    E
But died upon the cross of Calvary.
             E
For sinners there He counted 

All He owned but lost

           B      
And He surveyed His 
                E
Kingdom from a cross.
 
 
[Chorus]

          A                E
A rugged cross became His throne
             B              E
His kingdom was in hearts alone
              A               E
He wrote His love in crimson red
              B               E
And wore the thorns upon His head.
 
  
[Verse]
           E
No purple robe He wore,
              E
His bleeding wounds to hide
              B          
But stripes upon His back 
              E
He wore with pride.

              E
And from the wounds there 

Flowed a crimson, cleansing stream

            B                     E
That was a cover for the soul unclean
 
 
[Chorus]

          A                E
A rugged cross became His throne
             B              E
His kingdom was in hearts alone
              A               E
He wrote His love in crimson red
              B               E
And wore the thorns upon His head.
 
 
[Chorus]

          A                E
A rugged cross became His throne
             B              E
His kingdom was in hearts alone
              A               E
He wrote His love in crimson red
              B               E
And wore the thorns upon His head.
 
              B    
And wore the thorns 
          E
Upon His head.
