    The poem describes the speaker as initially being "the thorn" that caused pain to Jesus when he was crucified on the cross. However, Jesus saw the speaker's need and sacrificed himself to save the speaker from death and free them from their chains. Now, the speaker expresses that Jesus is their Lord and crown, having pulled them from darkness and set them free, transforming them from being lost to being found in holy joy.

    I Was the Thorn I Was the Thorn

    I I
    I was the thorn; I was the thorn;
    I was the crown. I was the crown.
    I caused the bitter pain and blood spilled on the ground I caused the bitter pain and blood spilled on the ground
    When You were hung upon the tree, When You were hung upon the tree,
    And You were bound in agony. And You were bound in agony.
    I was the thorn. I was the thorn.
    I was the crown. I was the crown.

    But you looked down But you looked down
    And saw my need And saw my need
    When I deserved to die this death, You intercede. When I deserved to die this death, You intercede.
    Your matchless Gift upon the tree Your matchless Gift upon the tree
    Has burst my chains – now I am free! Has burst my chains – now I am free!
    For you looked down For you looked down
    And saw my need. And saw my need.

    You are my Lord! You are my Lord!
    You are my Crown! You are my Crown!
    You pulled me from the pit and set me on the ground. You pulled me from the pit and set me on the ground.
    I once was lost, but now am found! I once was lost, but now am found!
    In holy joy I now abound. In holy joy I now abound.
    You are my Lord You are my Lord
    You are my Crown. You are my Crown.

    You are my Lord You are my Lord


    You are my Crown. You are my Crown.
