How easy we forget
That cross of shame
Where one who did no wrong
Took all the blame
Because of love

How easy we forget
The love you show
How welcoming you are
To everyone
Who cries to you

Break our hearts again
Break our hearts again

How weary we become
Of doing good
How deaf and blind we are
To those who hurt
Who cry for help

Break our hearts again
Break our hearts again

To love as you have loved
To be a friend
To comfort those who mourn
And dry their tears
To hold the broken hearted
Share their pain

Break our hearts again
Break our hearts again

I never will forget
That cross of shame
Where one who did no wrong
Took all the blame
Because of love
