My_Very

A path along a dusty road
That led to Calvary
Was stained with Jesus’ precious blood-
The blood of Christ my King.

With crimson robe upon His back-
A cross was made His throne-
A crown of thorns placed on His head,
He died naked and alone.

When my journey here is through,
I’ll walk on streets of gold.
The awesome beauty of that place
These eyes will then behold.

At Jesus’ feet - the ones that bled -
I’ll bow forevermore.
I’ll give to Him those crowns I’ve won
As I worship and adore.

An Eternal Crown that does not rust
Like those of kings on earth:
The evidence of salvation-
My proof of royal birth.

I’ll give to Him a Crown of Rejoicing
For the souls I’ve won to Him-
The lives I’ve touched while here on earth
For whom His blood was spilled.

The Crown of Righteousness I gained
While working this earthly plane-
Keeping in mind that some great day
My Lord would return again.

For all the persecutions
That this life did bestow,
I’ll give to Him my Crown of Life
And I’ll suffer pain no more.

The Crown of Glory at last I’ll give
To the greatest Teacher of all
For it was through His faithfulness
That I learned to give my all.

How wonderful His precious plan
Established so long ago-
To trade His earthly kingdom and crown
For five of my very own.
