Crushed For Our Healing (Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
Despised and rejected, a Man of deep sorrow
Acquainted with grief, acquainted with pain
We turned our faces, we looked the other way
Yet You were bearing what we could not name
[Verse 2]
Surely You carried the weight of our weakness
Surely You bore all our shame
We thought You were stricken, punished by God
But You were wounded in love for our sake
[Chorus]
You were crushed for our healing
Pierced so we could be whole
By the stripes that You suffered
Your mercy reached my soul
The punishment fell upon You
So I could walk in peace
O Lamb who was silent
You laid down Your life for me
[Verse 3]
Like a lamb led gently into the slaughter
You did not cry, You did not defend
Taken in judgment, cut off in silence
Yet this was not the end
[Bridge]
It was the will of the Father
To give You up for us all
From the anguish of Your suffering
You would see Your offspring rise
You would justify many
Out of death, You would triumph
Out of the grave, endless life
[Chorus – softer, then build]
You were crushed for our healing
Pierced so we could be whole
By the stripes that You suffered
Your mercy reached my soul
You poured out Your life unto death
Yet still You remembered me
I stand forgiven, restored, made new
Because You were broken for me
[Outro – gentle]
Despised and rejected
Yet chosen and victorious
You took the fall
And carried me through it all
