Crucifixion Song
As we approach the Easter season, here's a song from a musical I wrote called "Resurrection Power". I just call it "Crucifixion Song". It's set to the text of Isaiah 53.
Hope you enjoy!
As a lamb led to slaughter,
as a sheep before its shearers,
He opened not His mouth He was silent
He was despised and forsaken of men,
a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief
Surely our griefs He bore and our sorrows He carried,
but He was pierced through for our transgressions
He was crushed for our iniquities
The judgment for our peace fell upon Him
By His stripes we are healed
By His scourging we are healed
By His Blood
By His Blood
His sacrifice brought us freedom
His sacrifice made us whole
Bought by the Blood of the Lamb
Bought by the Blood of the Lamb
Purchased with nail-scarred hands by love
Washed in the Blood of the Lamb
Washed in the Blood of the Lamb
Bought with the price of love,
by love, by love,
by love, by love,
by love
