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

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
