Have you read the story of the cross

1.

Have you read the story of the cross

Where Jesus bled and died

Where your debt was paid by His precious blood

That flowed from His wounded side?

2.

Have you read how they placed the crown of thorn

Upon His brow for you

When he prayed, “Forgive them oh, forgive;

They know not what they do?

3.

Have you read how he saved the dying thief

When hanging on the tree

When he looked with pleading eyes and said

“Dear Lord, remember me?

4.

Have you read that He looked to heaven and said

’Tis finished ’twas for thee!

Have you ever said, “I thank Thee, Lord,

For giving Thy life for me
