Lyrics:

[Instrumental intro]

[Verse 1]

Born beneath the Holy Cross, a child of Heaven’s flame,
A king with fragile frame, yet forged in God’s own name.
Though illness touched his skin and bone, it never chained his will,
He rode with saints and angels’ guard, the Lord his banner still.

[Chorus]

Oh, Baldwin, crowned in sorrow, yet shining like the morn,
You bore your cross in silence, with flesh and spirit torn.
You met the storm of steel and flame, and did not turn away,
The foe was thrown in ruin, that fierce and fateful day.

[Instrumental interlude]

[Verse 2]

At Montgisard the trumpet cried, and heaven held its breath,
The Sultan came with countless hordes, and swore the Cross’s death.
But God’s own fire lit Baldwin’s blade, the faithful would not yield,
He smote the mighty Saladin, and drove him from the field.

[Bridge]

His hands grew numb, his body failed, but still he stood for right,
A shepherd crowned with thorns of grief, still bathed in holy light.
He did not fear the coming dark, nor flinch from death’s embrace,
For Christ had walked this path before, and lit the narrow way.

[Instrumental interlude]

[Final chorus]

Oh, Baldwin, crowned in sorrow, yet shining like the morn,
Now wear your crown eternal, where wounds are never worn.
The Lord of Hosts has raised you, through fire and through pain,
A king the grave released, now walking Heaven’s plain.

[Instrumental interlude]

[Outro]

Jerusalem remembers you, son of dust and flame,
Wounded, wise, and faithful one – forever sings your name.

[End]
