Only a Broken Heart

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1882
Composer: Howard Doane

Only a brok­en heart

Sav­ior

I bring

While to Thy bless­èd cross help­less I cling;

There in Thy name I wait

plead­ing with Thee;

O

my Re­deem­er

save

save Thou me.

Only a brok­en heart

I have no more;

Lord

may I en­ter in? Thou art the door;

Where can I go for rest

where but to Thee?

O

my Re­deem­er

save

save Thou me.

Only a brok­en heart

yet I be­lieve;

Only a brok­en heart Thou wilt re­ceive;

Thou in Thy word dost call lost ones to Thee;

O

my Re­deem­er

save

save Thou me.

Lord

to Thy pro­mise now faith lifts mine eyes;

Thou my poor brok­en heart will not des­pise;

Take then the gift I bring on bend­ed knee;

O

my Re­deem­er

save

save Thou me.
