Adam and Eve were awakened that day When their innocency was washed away From God’s presence they became afraid So they hid from the face of God He asked them why they hid away They blamed one another for their shame But God knew that they were both to blame Sin had now entered the world He told the woman she would give birth He told the man that the earth would be cursed Thorns and thistles would grow to hinder their work In that garden that once was free The way was blocked to the tree of life For thousands of years man lived in strife Then Jesus cam and offered His life As a ransom for you and me He told a story about seeds that were sown The seed of the Word of God was His own Yet for many the thorns made the word unknown And the seed withered and died The thorns He wore that day as a crown Represented the thorns that grew from the ground Of the garden that day when man fell down He wore them the day that He died But those thorns were a crown of victory That Jesus won for you and me He is the way to that wonderful tree That gives us eternal life

A Crown of Victory
