CAC GHB 294: HAVE YOU READ THE STORY OF THE CROSS

MAKE MELODY IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD

Hymn 294:
Have you read the story of the cross,
Where Jesus bled and died;
Where your dept was paid by his precious blood
That flowed from his wounded side?
He died of a broken heart for you,
He died of a broken heart;
Upon a tree, for you, for me,
He died of a broken heart.

Have you read how they placed the
Crown of thorn
Upon his brow for you
When he prayed, “forgive them oh, forgive;
They know not what they do?”

Have you read how He saved the
Dying thief,
When hanging on the tree,
When he looked with pleading eyes
And said,
Dear Lord, remember me?”

Have you read that he looked to
Heaven and said,
‘Tis finished ‘Twas for thee!
Have you ever said, “ I thank Thee,
Lord,
For giving thy life to me?”
