Isaiah 53
Aaron Shust's song "Isaiah 53" is a worshipful meditation on the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, directly drawing from the biblical passage of Isaiah 53. The lyrics describe how Jesus was rejected, wounded, and crushed for humanity's sins, yet through His suffering, believers find healing and peace. The song emphasizes the substitutionary nature of Christ's death, highlighting that He did not deserve the punishment He bore. It is a reflective and reverent piece that invites listeners to contemplate the depth of God's love and the price paid for redemption.
He had no form or beauty
That we should even look at Him
Rejected and despised
Our faces turned away
But by His bruises we were healed
And He was wounded
Because of our sins
The Suffering Servant
He was wounded
Because of our sins
He never deserved it
By His bruises we were healed
Surely He bore our griefs
And carried all our suffering
Taking our punishment
And bringing us shalom
And by His bruises we were healed
And He was wounded
Because of our sins
The Suffering Servant
He was wounded
Because of our sins
He never deserved it
By His bruises we were healed
By His bruises we were healed
Taken away to die
But silent as a lamb would be
It pleased the heart of God
To crush The Righteous One
The will of Adonai
To crush His only Son
And He was wounded
Because of our sins
The Suffering Servant
He was wounded
Because of our sins
He never deserved it
By His bruises we were healed
By His bruises we were healed
By His bruises we were healed
