The Cross Was His Own

[Robert Cragg]

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 He wore and the cross He bore
were His own-The cross was 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 He wore and the cross He bore
Were His own- The cross was His own.

He borrowed a ship in which to sit
To teach the multitude;
He borrowed a nest in which to rest,
He never had a home so crude;
But the crown He wore and the cross He bore
Were His own- The cross was His own

He borrowed a room on His way to the tomb,
The Passover lamb to eat;
They borrowed a cave for Him a grave;
They borrowed a winding sheet;
But the crown He wore and the cross He bore
Were His own - The cross was His own.
