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 
Chorus They crowned Him with thorns he was beaten with straps He was wounded 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 his owners He loved The sheep that had wandered astray They heard not His voice but the friend of mankind Was halted and driven away 
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
