Author: C. J. B. Hymnal: Melodies of Salvation #241 (1901) First Line: Oh, what love Christ showed for me Refrain First Line: Jesus' love, His love to me Lyrics: 1 Oh, what love Christ showed for me
In His death on Calvary;
Love like His was never known,
Oh, it broke my heart of stone.
Chorus:
Jesus’ love, His love to me
He displayed on Calvary;
Never love like His was known,
Oh, it broke my heart of stone.
2 Oft on wings of faith I soar
Where in blood my sins He bore,
Where for all the world was shown
Love that broke my heart of stone. [Chorus]
3 Why, oh, why did Jesus die,
Die for one so vile as I?
‘Twas His love, His love alone,
Love that broke my heart of stone. [Chorus]
4 Here and in my home above
I will praise Him for His love;
Love that bro’t Him from His throne,
Love that broke my heart of stone. [Chorus]
