The Heart That Was Broken For Me

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 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

He came to His own, to the ones that He loved
The sheep that had wandered away
They heard not His voice, but the friend of mankind
Was hated and driven away

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

I cannot reject such a Savior as He
Dishonor and wound Him again
I’ll go to His feet and repent of my sin
Be willing to suffer the pain

I will 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

The heart that was broken for me
