I urge you to buy it on iTunes and listen to it, it will change your life! It will be the best $1.69 you have ever spent. Here are the words...
Sent down from heaven, by the Father.
Jesus came to love and to serve,
to carry the burdens, be the ransom,
precious blood for the sins of the world.
Knelt down in the garden, knowing His mission.
Angels cried as the King shook with fear.
The Fathers tears glistened, as the son whispered
"Is there any other possible way?"
BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED
Dragged from the garden, He was taken,
spat and mocked, still He said not a word.
Accused as a liar, questioned and trialled,
spoke the truth, but their hearts just stayed closed.
Scourged and defiled, beaten and mocked.
His blood shed so that we be made new.
He picked up His cross, His heart bled for us
With every step he carried our shame.
AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED
He stretched His hands out wide.
He saw your face and mine.
He took a breath as they nailed Him to the cross.
He gave it all for us.
He gave His life for us
So that nothing could ever keep us apart.
Through all the pain He loved.
Through all the shame He loved.
It WASN'T nails that held him, but his LOVE.
Called for humanity, He gave eternity.
Bowed his head, closed his eyes and said
IT IS DONE!
Faithful and true
Righteous and just
Friend and King
Forever and ever.
AND BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED!!!
