I'm looking for the song with these words in the chorus

There's been many, many letters
Written by many great men
Letters of honor, valor and mercy
Great deeds of many of them
Some were written on parchment
And penned down with ink laced in gold
But the world's greatest letter
Was written by Jesus in blood

Chorus
Love, love like this was never known
Love, love like this was never shown
For God sent His only son to die for the lost
And the world's greatest letter
Was sent from the old rugged cross

They beat Him, they mocked Him
And they spat in His face
Up a dark lonely mountain
He hung there in shame and disgrace
They pierced His side
Drove nails in His hands and His feet
He prayed "Father forgive them"
The same words He's pleading tonight
