The Broken Heart

Have you read the sto­ry of the cross

Where Je­sus bled and died

Where your debt was paid by the pre­cious blood

That flowed from His wound­ed side?

He died of a brok­en heart for you

He died of a brok­en heart;

Oh

won­drous love! for you

for me

He died of a brok­en heart.

Have you read how they placed the crown of thorns

Upon His king­ly brow

How He cried

They know not what they do;

O Fa­ther

for­give them now?

Have you read how the dy­ing thief was saved

While hang­ing on the tree

When he looked with plead­ing eyes and said

O Lord

re­mem­ber me?

Have you read how in ang­uish He cried aloud

And died on Cal­va­ry?

Have you ev­er said

I thank Thee

Lord

For giv­ing Thy life for me?
