Hillsong Worship's rendition of Isaiah 53:1-6 is a powerful musical setting of the prophetic passage about the suffering servant, Jesus Christ. The song vividly portrays His rejection, sorrow, and sacrificial death, emphasizing that He bore our griefs, was pierced for our transgressions, and brought us peace through His wounds. It highlights the substitutionary atonement and the healing and salvation available through His sacrifice. The lyrics also acknowledge human waywardness, as we have all gone astray, yet God laid our iniquity on Him. This worshipful piece invites reflection on the depth of Christ's love and the redemptive work of the cross.

Who has believed what he has heard from us?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
For he grew up before him like a young plant
And like a root out of dry ground
He had no form or majesty that we should look at him
And no beauty that we should desire him
He was despised and rejected by men
A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief
And as one from whom men hide their faces
He was despised, and we esteemed him not
Surely he has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows
Yet we esteemed him stricken
Smitten by God, and afflicted
But he was pierced for our transgressions
He was crushed for our iniquities
Upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace
And with his wounds we are healed
Ll we like sheep have gone astray
We have turned �?? every one �?? to his own way
And the Lord has laid on hi
The iniquity of us all
