A little more about...

Diademata (Crowns)

Adaptation of the hymn "Crown Him with Many Crowns" -

with new lyrics and a splash of new music.

This song comes deep from my roots. I grew up in a church where we sang beautiful hymns accompanied by a powerful organ.

Thank you Wilma for your years of dedication as BLC's organist, for believing in me, and for making me love the organ.

Lyrics

On Your head, many crowns

You're worthy of them all

Matchless in majesty, in love

Came down Emmanuel

You left Your Father's side

To give Your life for mine

You picked the thorns to crown You king

And saved me with Your blood

You prepare for Yours

A kingdom, many crowns

Of glory, life and righteousness

Of those who live avowed

Each one of shining gold

I'll let no one take hold

But none of them so precious as

The brambles twisted 'round

You've readied for me unfading crowns

But I will bow and lay them all down

I'll fall at Your feet, forever worship You

Jesus, You laid Your life down for me

I'll serve the Holy One and Only

All glory, laud to the King of Kings

Who chose a bramble crown

Imperishable crowns

You have in store for me

Do not belong upon my head

But right down at Your feet

My brilliant diadems

I cast before Your throne

I'm humbled by Your worthiness

Oh sovereign, righteous King!
