Lyrics · Isaiah
Wounded for Our Transgressions
Isaiah 52:13-53:12
[Lament I]
No banner announced him, no beauty compelled,
A root in dry ground where the proud never knelt.
We turned from his sorrow and named him accursed,
Not seeing our burden was laid on him first.
[Refrain]
Wounded for our transgressions,
Bruised beneath the weight we made.
[Lament II]
The peace we could not purchase
Came through the stripes he bore.
All we like sheep broke every road,
The silent Lamb carried the wandering load.
[Hope Turn]
Cut from the living, assigned to a grave,
Though deceit never lived in the words that he gave.
He sees after travail; the many stand free,
The Servant bears sin and intercedes for the guilty.
[Final Chorus]
Wounded for our transgressions,
Bruised beneath the weight we made.
He sees after travail; the many stand free,
The Servant bears sin and intercedes for the guilty.
