Isaiah 53:4-5 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
[5] But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
I am glad the Lord put that little phrase in the beginning of verse four:
"Surely, He hath borne our griefs.”
O What A Savior
______________________
Once I was straying in sin's dark valley, — No hope within could I see, — They searched through Heaven and found a Savior — To save a poor lost soul like me.
CHORUS:
O what a Savior, O hallelujah! — His heart was broken on Calvary, — His hands were nail scarred; His side was riven, — He gave His life-blood for even me.
He left the Father with all His riches, — With calmness sweet and serene, — Came down from Heaven and gave His life-blood, — To make the vilest sinner clean. - - -
Death's chilly waters I'll soon be crossing, — His hand will lead me safe o'er, — I'll join the chorus in that bright city, — And sing up there forever more. - - -
