Crushed For Our Iniquities -Isaiah 53

This is the servant of the Lord God
with no attraction to make an appeal
He suffered, was rejected and despised
full of sorrows this man wasn't the real deal

He was crushed for all our iniquities
every one of them did He truly atone
pierced for our transgressions was He
punished for our peace He left all alone

The iniquities of us all He took on Himself
for He kept quiet led as a slaughtered lamb
never opened His mouth not even once
His father's will to do nailed His palm

This servant will indeed justify many
after suffering as our sin offering
He will see lifes light of satisfaction
then make intercession for His own ring

This picture paints of Jesus the saviour
who died as the paschal lamb for sin
His very own elect people died He for
our iniquities He took so we could enter in
