As sung by Pastor & Mrs. Buck Ledford, Heavenly Mansion, LFLP 22

THE CROWN HE WORE
(Ralph Stanley)

CHORUS
The crown he wore and the cross he bore
But only the robe his own

He borrowed a coat as the prophets foretold
A King that was lowly and just
"Hosanna," they cried, as He rode in that day
Yet His own would turn Him away

CHORUS

He borrowed the bread and five thousand fed
On a grassy mountainside
He borrowed a dish of broken fish
With which he satisfied

CHORUS

He borrowed a room on the way to his tomb
The Lord's Last Supper to eat
They borrowed a cave, was for Him a grave
And they borrowed a pure white sheet

CHORUS
