Crowns

There is a hill I cherish
Where stood a precious tree
The emblem of salvation
The gift of calvary

How is it I should profit
While he is crucified
Yet as his life was taken
So I was granted mine

My wealth is in the cross
There’s nothing more I want
Than just to know his love
My heart is set on Christ
And I will count all else as lost
The greatest of my crowns
Mean nothing to me now
For I counted up the cost
And all my wealth in the cross

I will not boast in riches
I have no pride in gold
But I will boast in Jesus
And in his name alone

And when I stand in glory
My crowns before the Lord
Let this be my confession
My wealth is in the cross
