Author: Artist: Album: He came to earth, a promise to fulfill A rugged cross, He bore up Calvary’s hill And for my sins, he cried father please forgive Born to die, So that I might live Chorus: Born to die A cruel cross to bear Born to die So that I his love may share Born to die His precious life to give Born to die So that I might live Accused of sin, yet silent he remained No one came forth, to witness for his name Between two thieves, he bowed his head and he cried “Tis finished now, I came to die” |
Thanks to Chuck Hall for submitting the lyrics. Here's the note he sent along:
NOTE: This is a beautiful, obscure song that i could not find reference to anywhere. I learned it from an older gospel musician that had been playing all his life.
