He has borne our griefs,
Carried our sorrows;
Afflicted by beliefs,
Shielded from our woes.
Yet esteemed Him stricken,
While smitten by God;
But remained to quicken,
Amongst those who were flawed.
For our transgressions,
Crushed for iniquities;
Suffering oppressions,
Of illegalities.
He suffered chastisement,
From God had brought us peace;
Healing wounds and ailment,
Caused pain that would not cease.
For all are like sheep gone astray,
From His grace each one falls;
Because we turned away,
Ignoring when God calls.
But what the Lord has laid,
All the iniquity;
Temptations that have frayed,
The spiritualty.
For He had been oppressed,
And He was afflicted;
The people were obsessed,
His words were rejected.
Like a lamb to slaughter,
A sheep before shearing;
The blood flows like water,
Without any fearing.
Judgment and oppression,
He was taken away;
For His generation,
The cross was to display.
Cut off out of the land,
Stricken with transgression;
For where He would then stand,
Far from the aggression.
He did no violence,
Laid resting in the grave;
For His humbled patience,
When the Father would save.
