He was spurned and avoided by men
A man of suffering, knowing pain
Like one from whom you turn your face
Spurned, and we held him in no esteem
Yet it was our pain that he bore
Our sufferings he endured
We thought of him as stricken
Struck down by God and afflicted
We had all gone astray like sheep
All following our own way
But the Lord laid upon him
The guilt of us all
He was given a grave among the wicked
A burial place with evildoers
Though harshly treated, he submitted
And did not open his mouth
Like a lamb led to slaughter
Or a sheep silent before shearers
But he was pierced for our sins
Crushed for our iniquity
He bore the punishment that makes us whole
By his wounds we were healed
Seized and condemned
He was taken away
Who would have thought any more
Of his destiny?
But it was the Lord's will to crush him with pain
By making his life as a reparation offering
And the Lord's will shall be
Accomplished through him
