Have You Read The Story Of The Cross

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?

Refrain

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"?

Refrain

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"?

Refrain

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"?

Refrain
