GHS 74 Christ Our Saviour
The Heart That Was Broken For Me
Verse 1
There came from the skies in the days long ago The Lord with a message of love; The world knew Him not; He was treated with scorn - This wonderful gift from above.
Chorus
They crowned Him with thorns, He was beaten with stripes; He was smitten and nailed to the tree, But the pain in His heart was the hardest to bear, The heart that was broken for me...
Verse 2
He came to His own - to the ones that He loved; The sheep that had wandered astray; They heard not His voice, but the Friend of mankind Was hated and driven away.
Verse 3
The birds have their nests, and the foxes have holes, But He had no place for His head; A pallet of stone on the cold mountain side Was all that He had for His bed.
Verse 4
I cannot reject such a Saviour as He; Dishonour and wound Him again; I'll go to His feet and repent of my sin, Be willing to suffer the pain.
Chorus
I'll take up my cross, I will walk by His side, For the pathway of duty I see, I will follow my Lord and abide in His heart, The heart that was broken for me...
