The heart that was broken for me
A D A
1. There came from the skies in the days long ago
E
the
Lord with a message of love.
A D A
The world knew Him not, He was treated with scorn,
A E A
this
wonderful gift from above.
A D A
They crowned Him with thorns, He was beaten
with straps,
E
He was wounded and nailed to the tree.
A D A
But the pain in His heart was the hardest to bear,
A E A
the heart that was broken for me.
+ instrumental = CHORUS
A D A
3. He came to His own, to his owners He loved,
E
the
sheep that had wandered astray.
A D A
They heard not His voice, but
the friend of mankind,
A E A
was
halted and driven away.
+ CHORUS + A - D - A
- A - E - A
A D A
3. I will take up my cross, I will walk by His
side,
E
for
the pathway of duty I see.
A D A
I will follow my Lord and
abide in His heart,
A E A
the
heart that was broken for me. + CHORUS
