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
They crowned him with thorns, he was beaten with straps He was wounded and nailed to the tree But the pain in his heart was the hardest to bear The heart that was broken for me
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
He came to his home, to his owners he'd love The sheep that had wandered astray They heard not his voice, but the friend of mankind Was halted and driven away
They crowned him with thorns, he was beaten with straps He was wounded and nailed to the tree But the pain in his heart was the hardest to bear The heart that was broken for me
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
I will take up my cross, I will walk by his side For the pathway of beauty I see I will follow the Lord and abide in his heart The heart that was broken for me
They crowned him with thorns, he was beaten with straps He was wounded and nailed to the tree But the pain in his heart was the hardest to bear The heart that was broken for me
