Mac Powell's 'By His Wounds' is a worship song that reflects on the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ and its redemptive power. Drawing directly from Isaiah 53:5, the lyrics emphasize that Christ was pierced and crushed for humanity's sins, and that through His wounds, believers find healing and peace. The song also incorporates the classic hymn line 'What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus,' reinforcing the theme of salvation by grace. It is a meditative piece focused on the cross, atonement, and the gift of salvation.

He was pierced for our transgressions
He was crushed for our sins
The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him
And by His wounds, by His wounds we are healed
He was pierced for our transgressions
He was crushed for our sins
The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him
And by His wounds, by His wounds we are healed
We are healed by Your sacrifice
And the life that You gave
We are healed for You paid the price
By Your grace we are saved
We are saved
He was pierced for our transgressions
And crushed for our sins
The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him
And by His wounds, by His wounds we are healed
We are healed by Your sacrifice
And the life that You gave
We are healed for You paid the price
By Your grace we are saved
We are saved
He was pierced for our transgressions
He was crushed for our sins
The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him
And by His wounds, by His wounds we are healed
And by His wounds, by His wounds
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
