Great Revival Hymns No. 2 ‎#11

11. Broken for You

1 One day, years ago, ‘neath a fair eastern sky,
A Man strange and kingly was led forth to die;
‘Midst mocking and scourging and fierce rabble cry
For me, for you.

Refrain:
Broken for me,
Broken for you,
His body was broken for me, for you,
And His great heart was broken too.

2 The woes of a lost world upon Him were laid,
In tears and in groans He our ransom price paid;
“Even like a lamb to the slaughter was led,”
For me, for you. [Refrain]

3 “Despised and rejected” the Savior has been,
“Was tempted in all points and yet without sin;”
“His visage so marred more than the sons of men,”
For me, for you. [Refrain]

4 The sun veiled His face from the terrible scene,
The earth shook and trembled, and rocks rent in twain,
He cried, “it is finished”, expiring in pain,
For me, for you. [Refrain]

5 And still men deny Him and mocking, pass by,
And still with the rabble “Away with Him” cry;
Reject the salvation which caused Him to die,
For me, for you. [Refrain]
