Hymns - An Atoning Death текст песни

Have you read the story of the cross
Where Jesus bled and died;
When your debt was paid by the precious blood
That flowed from His wounded side?

Refrain:
He died an atoning death for thee,
He died an atoning death;
O wondrous love! it was for thee
He died an atoning death!

Have you read how they placed the crown of thorns
Upon His kingly brow?
How He cried: "Forgive them, O forgive,
They know not what they do."

Have you read how the dying thief was saved
While hanging on the tree?
When he looked with pleading eyes and said,
"Dear Lord, remember me."

Have you read that He looked to heav'n and said:
"'Tis finished"??? 'twas for thee?
Have you ever said: "I thank Thee, Lord,
For giving Thy life for me"?
