Verse 1 His appearance was so badly marred He could not have been recognized So disfigured, so beyond all human likeness That we hid our eyes Verse 2 Though he carried all our griefs and bore our sorrows We esteemed him not But despised him and considered him afflicted And as one reviled by God Chorus 1 Though all of us have gone astray Though all have turned to their own ways The Lord has laid our wickedness on him His punishment has brought us peace And crushed for our iniquities He died to save his people from their sin | Verse 3 He was stricken, and though pierced for our transgressions He did not lash out But was silent, like a lamb led to the slaughter So he opened not his mouth Bridge The might of Yahweh Stands revealed And by his wounds we All are healed Chorus 2 He offered up his soul to death He poured it out till none was left He died but now shall rise and surely see The many he has righteous made And satisfied, his work surveyed, The man of sorrows ever more shall be On high, exalted, lifted up The righteous servant raised above His mighty hand shall work the will of God The nations all shall hear and see Astonished at his victory The kings of men shall shut their mouths in awe |
October 1st marked the release of an album from artist Dustin Kensrue titled "The Water & The Blood." I was recently introduced to Dustin's music--specifically by hearing a song a few months ago that would be on his album that was just released. The song left enough of an impression on me that I eagerly awaited the release of the album. I have been cycling through the album on my playlist the last couple days and have been deeply encouraged by the truth of the gospel and God's grace that comes through the text of the songs. His style--in minor ways unique to my ears--causes me to stop and really think about what is being communicated. I have enjoyed the album for two main reasons. 1. It is creative (you can disagree with me on that one) and I appreciate it when an artist takes the time to communicate truth in ways that are not "mainstream." 2. Most significantly, the lyrics and truth of the songs on this album have caused me to consider once again another facet of the amazing truth of YHWH's faithfulness to and rescue of His creation.
I have included the lyrics and music of the 3rd song from the album. If you would like access to resources from this album you can go here. If you would like to know more about Dustin you can access a recent interview here.
