Sandi Patty The Day He Wore My Crown
The city was Jerusalem
And the time was long ago
The people called Him Jesus
And the crime was the love He showed
And I'm the one to blame
I cause all the pain
He gave Himself the day
He wore my crown
He brought me love
That only He could give
I brought Him cause to cry
And though He taught me how to love
I taught Him how to die
And I'm the one to blame
I caused all the pain
He gave Himself
The day he wore my crown
He could have called His Holy Father
And said take me away
Please take me away
He could have said I'm not guilty
Al'm not gonna stay
I'm not gonna pay
But He walked right through the gate
And then on up the hill
And as He fell beneath the weight
He cried: "Father not my will"
And I'm the one to blame
I caused all the pain
He gave Himself
The day he wore my crown
And I'm the one to blame
I caused all His pain
He gave Himself
The day He wore my crown
I remember while we were still living in New Mexico I
was in the church choir and we sang this during our
Easter special concert. It was very, very hard to sing
without crying. Very, very moving.
