Your Wounds
Lyrics
Oh man of sorrows
Hated and despised
So marred, so ugly
We all turned our eyes
Like sheep we’ve wandered
Going our own way
It pleased the Father
To crush You in our place
Your wounds, our healing
Your stripes, our peace
You carried our sorrows
You carried our griefs
Your suffering our hope
You poured out your soul
Unto death
So we could be counted
Righteous
Sinless one who takes our sins
Dying one our death condemns
Bearing our guilt though innocent
But the grave can’t hold you in
