King's Ransom Lyrics - Singles - Petra

Words by Bob Hartman 

Based on Matthew 20: 28 

It's such a paradox - it's such a mystery 

Why a King would leave His throne to save humanity 

They could not have known when they mocked Him in disgrace 

They could not have known when they spit upon His face 

(Chorus) 

The Rose of Sharon wore a crown of thorns that day 

The carpenter had a nail right through His hand 

The Master of the earth became a servant of no worth 

And paid a King's ransom for my soul 

He paid a King's ransom for my soul 

Creator of the earth - Name above all names 

Some just stood in unbelief when listening to His claims 

They could not have known when they hit Him with their fists 

They could not have known when they nailed his feet and wrists

The ransom that He paid was the sacrifice he made 

The life of a King in place of me 

The shame that He bore for the rich and for the poor 

Changed His crown of thorns into glory
