Leviticus

The Suffering Servant

Leviticus


But how, oh few believe it, who will listen? 
To whom will God reveal His saving power? 
It was the will of the Lord that His servant 
Should grow like a plant, taking root in dry ground 

He had no beauty or majesty to make us notice Him 
He wasn't attractive and nothing would draw us to Him 
We ignored Him that He was nothing 

He is the suffering servant, he is the son of God 

It was our grief He bore 
Our sorrows, that weighed Him down 
And we thought His troubles 
Were a punishment from God 
But He was wounded and beaten for our sins 
He was chastised that we might have peace 
He was lashed, and we were healed 

We are the ones 
Who strayed away like sheep without shephard 
We who left God's path to follow our own 
God laid on Him guilt and sins of everyone of us 

He was oppressed, and He was afflicted 
He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter 
But He opened not His mouth 
He's the servant who is love 
He's the servant who set us free 
He is the suffering servant, the Son of God
