"The Cross Was His Own" They borrowed a bed to lay His head When Christ the LORD came down; They borrowed the ass in the mountain pass For Him to ride to town; But the crown that He wore, And the cross that He bore ... Were His own. He borrowed the bread when the crowd He fed On the grassy mountain side; He borrowed the dish of broken fish With which He satisfied; But the crown that He wore And the cross that He bore Were His own. He borrowed the ship in which to sit To teach the multitude; He borrowed the nest in which to rest, He had never a home so rude; But the crown that He wore And the cross that He bore Were His own. He borrowed a room on the way to the Tomb The Passover lamb to eat; They borrowed the cave; for Him a grave; They borrowed the winding sheet. But the crown that He wore And the cross that He bore Were His own. The thorns on His head were worn in my stead, For me the Saviour died. For guilt of my sin the nails drove in When Him they crucified; Though the crown that He wore And the cross that He bore Were His own-- They rightly were mine! ~Author Unknown ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 Peter 2:24 "Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by Whose stripes ye were healed" John 10:15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
